2024 Kia Sonet facelift: Interiors and features
One of the most notable interior upgrades that the new Sonet gets is the introduction of a larger 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster borrowed from its larger sibling, the Seltos. It gets the same 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system as before with a new small screen beneath it that displays climate control info, and some toggle controls. Additionally, Kia has revamped the upholstery for the seats in the SUV, thus giving it a more sophisticated feel inside.
Speaking of the features, one of the biggest changes is the introduction of Level 1 ADAS suite that gets features such as including Front Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA), Leading Vehicle Departure Alert (LVDA), and Lane Following Assist (LFA). Standard across all trims are six airbags, hill-start assist, a tyre pressure monitoring system, and ESC. Higher trims come with additional features such as cornering lamps, a four-way powered driver’s seat, and a 360-degree camera with a blind-view monitor.
Furthermore, top-spec Sonets will maintain premium features including ventilated front seats, leatherette upholstery, a sunroof, and LED ambient lighting.
