Pros

The 2024 Sonet facelift brings significant design updates, including a more imposing Tiger-Nose grille and sleek LED headlamps, giving it a more modern and bold look.
It is now equipped with Level 1 ADAS, offering advanced safety features such as Forward Collision Warning and Lane Keep Assist, enhancing overall driving safety.
The interior has been upgraded with a new 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster and premium features like ventilated seats, a wireless charger, and a Bose surround sound system, improving the overall driving experience

Cons

There is noticeable turbo lag in the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine, especially in lower RPMs, affecting responsiveness during city driving.
The ride quality is on the softer side, which may not provide enough confidence during aggressive cornering or high-speed maneuvers.
While the Sonet offers wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for higher trims, lower variants still only support wireless functionality, which feels inconsistent

Verdict of Kia Sonet

2024 Kia Sonet facelift offers a more premium experience with substantial upgrades in design, technology, and safety. While the turbo petrol engine’s lag and handling might not appeal to performance enthusiasts, its tech-forward features, safety enhancements, and comfortable cabin make it a standout in the subcompact SUV segment. The Sonet is an ideal choice for those looking for a stylish and feature-rich SUV at a competitive price.
