New Delhi:  The Kia Sonet is set to make a virtual debut on August 7, 2020. The carmaker has announced that it will live stream the debut of the car. Kia Motors has unveiled its compact SUV  the 'Auto Expo 2020' earlier this year. Although the company has not confirmed, media reports say that the car will be available for purchase by September this year. The Kia Sonet is a compact SUV falling in the ‘below  4m category’ so it will be competing with the likes of Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV300 plus,  Ford EcoSport and the recently updated Tata Nexon. The sleek SUV will come loaded with features such as a wide range of engines and an interior filled with technology including built-in e-sim. According to media reports, Kia Sonet is expected to be in the Rs 7-12 lakh (ex-showroom) bracket. The Sonet is quintessentially Kia with a tiger-nose mesh grille and headlamps with DRLs. From the front, it is similar to Seltos. The SUV also features big wheel arches and a rugged design. Compared to its rivals the Sonet also has bigger wheels. The connected tail-lamp all across the car with 'Kia' written at the rear of the car gives a premium look. This might provide an edge over its rivals from the same category. Just like Seltos, the Sonet will have a 10.25-inch touchscreen plus UVO connected technology and Bose audio. The SUV will also come with three engine options- one diesel and two petrol ones including a turbo-petrol unit. All would be BS6 as by that time it would be compulsory. The company has also released a teaser video with the tagline 'Wild By Design'

He's got the guts. She's got the looks. Beyond that, they've got something that's wilder than your imagination. Taking you on a wild adventure in their all-new #KiaSonet. Catch the #SonetWorldPremiere on 07th Aug 2020.#WildByDesign#SonetIsComing #ComingSoon
