Launched in September 2020, the Kia Sonet has been one of the best-selling models in its category. It is one of the most feature-loaded and good-looking compact SUVs on sale in the Indian market. Here is a stunning looking Kia Sonet, which is modified/rendered by the Instagram user – ‘boozconcepts’.
This modified Kia Sonet looks wider, and has more aftermarket features that gives it a sporty look. The front has the standard Sonet LED headlamps with added LED elements inside. It gets a blacked-out front grille that accommodates the brand’s new logo at the centre. The standard model has Kia badge on the bonnet.
The vehicle gets a customised lower bumper, which looks like the modified Seltos bumper. The sunroof is covered with the roof box on top. The tail-lamps are sourced from the regular model; however, the connected bar is now a working LED bar that lights up. In fact, it gets the illuminated rear windshield wiper mount.
The bumper has twin exhaust exits instead of the silver-lined faux exhausts in the regular model. The SUV gets wider wheels, and is expected to be larger than the regular Sonet’s 16-inch alloys. The fenders have plastic extensions that has air inlets for both front and rear wheels.
The render is based on the top-spec GT Line variant of the Kia Sonet. This variant is powered by a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 118bhp and 172Nm of torque. It is paired to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with paddle shifters.
The Kia Sonet is also available with 1.2-litre NA petrol and a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine. Paired to a 5-speed MT, the 1.2L engine produces 82bhp and 112Nm of torque. The turbo-diesel engine produces 99bhp/225Nm with 6MT and 113bhp/250Nm with 6-speed torque convertor automatic.
