Description: Kia Motors India has finally revealed its close-to-production sub-4m SUV concept, the Sonet, at Auto Expo 2020. @Kia Motors India Concept previews Kia's third model for India; will take on distant cousin Hyundai Venue among other compact SUVs. @Kia Motors Worldwide The Kia Sonet shares its underpinnings with its distant cousin from Hyundai, the Venue. However, the carmaker has gone the distance to ensure the two SUVs will not be confused for one another. The Sonet receives bespoke exterior and interior styling to make it look more striking and curvaceous. Up front, the compact SUV wears Kia's signature ‘tiger nose’ grille with a mesh pattern and a pinched profile in the middle. Below this is the central air dam flanked by matte-silver fog lamp inserts and large air vents. Kia has decided to avoid going down the split headlamp route and has instead used sleek headlights with integrated LED DRLs merging into the grille. A high bonnet with muscular creases adds to the chunky look. The side profile of the Sonet is marked by large, dual-tone alloy wheels, prominent wheel arches and a window line that sharply rises at the C-pillar. A pair of roof rails, and contrast-coloured roof and wing mirrors are other notable styling cues. At from the rear, the Kia looks radical, especially with elements like a backward sloping C-pillar merging with a sharply raked rear windshield. The width of the SUV is accentuated by an LED light bar connecting a pair of sweptback tail-lamps.
