The Kia Sonet arrives in the Philippines, offering impressive power, a stylish design, and tons of tech features at an attractive price.
First Impressions of the Powerful and Stylish Kia Sonet
I recently had the chance to check out the all-new Kia Sonet at its Philippine launch, and let me tell you, it's definitely a head-turner! This subcompact SUV boasts not only a bold design but also impressive power, a feature-rich interior, and a competitive price tag.
Fuel Efficiency Meets Power with the 1.5L Engine
The Kia Sonet packs a punch under the hood with a 1.5-liter Dual Port Fuel Injected gasoline engine that delivers a class-leading 115 PS of power and 144 Nm of torque. This efficient engine is paired with either a smooth-shifting Kia Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) or a 6-speed manual transmission, making it perfect for city driving and out-of-town adventures.
Stand Out from the Crowd with a Stylish Design
The Kia Sonet's exterior design commands attention. Its dimensions create a strong and confident presence on the road, while maintaining a compact profile that navigates city streets with ease. The signature Kia Tiger-nose grille gives the Sonet a bold look, while all variants come with 16-inch wheels and impressive 205mm ground clearance for tackling any urban obstacle.
Comfort and Tech Blend Seamlessly in the Interior
The Sonet's interior is both comfortable and practical. Depending on the variant, you'll find either premium cloth or luxurious leather seats. The 60:40 folding second-row seats offer ample cargo space, making it perfect for weekend getaways.
Tech lovers will be impressed with the Sonet's features. The top-of-the-line SX variant boasts a sophisticated 10.25-inch TFT LCD instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Even the base LX variant comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with the same smartphone connectivity options.
Safety Comes First with Kia Drive Wise
The Kia Sonet prioritizes safety with a comprehensive suite of features. The top-of-the-line SX variant offers Kia Drive Wise technologies like Lane Following Assist, Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, and Electronic Stability Control. All variants come with standard safety features like airbags, ABS, and rear parking sensors for maximum peace of mind.
Multiple Color Options and a Competitive Price
The Kia Sonet comes in a variety of colors to suit your style, with the top SX variant offering an exclusive Pewter Olive option. With a starting price of P770,000, the Kia Sonet is a compelling choice in the entry-level SUV market.
