Despite being covered in camouflage, the LED headlamps are visible, revealing the new sharper-looking design. The prototype gets new diamond-cut alloy wheels which seem to be inpsired from the Seltos facelift’s HT Line variant. The tail light design of the Sonet facelift is also visible, revealing a new vertical shape with a wraparound design, similar to what we see on the recently launched new Seltos facelift.

The interior spy shot reveals a tan-coloured upholstery for the seats, with the same 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The new Sonet could carry over the Seltos’ fully-digital instrument cluster, however, the same is yet to be ascertained. Other features like connected-tech, electric sunroof, electrically adjustable ORVMs, premium audio system will likely be carried over.
Powering the Kia Sonet facelift will likely be the same powertrains as the existing model, which include a 1.2-litre four-cylinder NA petrol motor making 82 hp power; a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol motor generating 118 hp power and a 1.5-litre diesel unit churning out 113 hp. Pricing for the Kia Sonet currently starts from Rs 7.79 lakh and goes up to Rs 14.89 lakh (both prices, ex-showroom). The introduction of a facelift would result in a slight price hike considering design changes and new feature add ons.
