Kia Motors showcased its third product the Kia Sonet in Auto Expo 2020 in India for the first time in the whole world. It has realized quite early that the Indians like their cars and are doing everything to maintain this relationship. The Kia Sonet was unveiled in the pre-production avatar but the company said that the exteriors of the car would be 90% untouched for the production-spec. Interiors of the car were not revealed but expect it to be something cool and funky. The manufacturer has decided to sell this car as an urban commuter.

Though the pandemic has delayed other projects, Kia is confident that they will be successful in launching the production car by the festive season this year i.e. August-October 2020.

Similarities with the Venue

Kia Sonet

The Kia Sonet is built on the same platform as the new Hyundai Venue’s platform. A thing we observed when Kia launched the Seltos on the Hyundai Creta’s platform. The Venue is based on a modified version of the i20 platform and so is the Kia Sonet. Expect the same platform to be used for the Rio hatchback. Presently Kia has used 69% high-strength steel which makes it stiffer and stronger according to our sources.

Engine similarities

You will find the Engine options similar too in both cars. Though Kia promised that the car will come with both Petrol and Diesel engine options, any particular details were not revealed about the performance. The current-gen Hyundai Venue is BS6 compliant, the Sonet will be too. 3 engine options are rumoured to be available in the Kia Sonet viz. 1.5-litre Turbo Diesel, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol.

Transmission Automatic** Manual/Automatic Manual/Automatic

The Kia Sonet will receive IMT(Intelligent Manual Transmission) which comes with the auto-rev matching feature. Speaking bluntly you won’t receive a clutch with this manual transmission. It’s the best of both worlds.

Features

Hyundai Venue 2019 rear

Like the Hyundai Venue, the Kia Sonet will receive all the modern high-end features like UVO Connect Connected car tech, wireless charging, Bose sound system, automatic climate control, cruise control, LED headlamps with DRL and rear parking camera.

Conclusion

2020 Kia Sonet

Now waiting for an upcoming car in this segment does not make sense. There is already a lot of competition in the segment and the competition offered a lot of design styles as well as features. The new features on the Kia Sonet might set it apart from the crowd when it is launched but for now, the Hyundai venue is the best pick in this segment.

  • I think that the concept Kia Sonet has a MUCH better exterior than the “characterless” Venue. The stance is a LOT more muscular! Hopefully, the 1.0L turbo petrol automatic will come with paddle shifters, much like the Ford Ecostar AT.
