The launch of the Kia Sonet is slated to take place on the 7th of August. But the Kia Sonet test mule has been spotted again. This time but it seems to be the top of the line variant. Find out why we have come to this conclusion and also know what’s new that has been spotted on the Kia Sonet Test Mule?
The Kia Sonet Interiors have been seen for the first time. This is all that we can spot from them.
The Kia Sonet Interiors distinctly remind of the Mercedes interiors. The infotainment system and the instrument cluster are in the same flowing line. There is a flat-bottom steering wheel. Also, the AC vents are verticle and have a very unique design. As you can also see the seats have a quilted texture. The steering does have controls and there is cruise control on offer too.
The rest of the dashboard is camouflaged but the centre console does seem to have a floating feel. On the right one can see a start-stop button too.
Kia Sonet Test Mule
As seen in the spy shot above most of the car is covered. But the wheels are different from the last time. They are larger and also sport alloy wheels. The Alloy wheel design of the car is similar to that of the Kia Seltos.
Kia has teased the car this week. To know what has been revealed in the Teaser click here. Other things that can be seen in the spy image is the silver colour. So for now, 3 colours of the vehicle have been revealed. the Golden which was shown at the Auto Expo 2020 on the close to the production model. The other was the dark grey which was seen in the spy images before this.
Lastly, this sliver colour which kind of expects to attract most of the sales because of its low maintenance.
The Launch is slated on for 7th August. With the COVID-19 crisis still going on the world-debut will be broadcasted from India. Do follow us on Twitter for live updates of key features. With the recent launch of the Hyundai Venue with iMT we expect the Kia Sonet to even feature this technology. The iMT technology has been developed jointly and you can read about it here.
There is no way that we could have found out the engine of this Kia Sonet Test Mule but the engines that are expected are – 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol and a 1.5-litre turbo diesel. It will have the option of a 6-speed manual or a choice of 7-Speed DCT or 6-speed iMT. The Diesel will come only with a 6-speed manual.
Even though the test mule has been heavily camouflaged there is one feature that is revealed. As seen above the camouflage at the rear has 2 spaces for the parking sensors. This indicates that there will be 2 parking sensors. No news on the reverse parking camera. For more such content stay subscribed to the Motoroctane Youtube, Google NEWS, Facebook and Twitter
