Kia South Africa has launched an upgraded Sonet range, with more safety, technology, and comfort across the line-up, backed by a five-year warranty with no kilometre limit.
Kia has turned up the appeal of its Sonet range with a host of upgrades, led by the addition of a standard sunroof on the EX, the popular mid-spec model.
Other significant changes are the introduction of a new LS+ derivative bringing six-airbag safety specification further down the range along with Kia's styled wheels for a bolder, more rugged look. A BOSE sound system comes standard in the flagship SX model.
Electronic Stability Control and Hill-start Assist Control remain standard across the range.
The line-up has also been restructured. Two new LS+ derivatives, in manual and CVT, join the range between the entry LS models and the LX. The LX and EX grades are loaded with additional technology and comfort features.
At the top of the range, the SX maintains Kia's advanced driver assistance systems and 10.25-inch HD display, now paired with the BOSE sound system.
The 1.5 MPI petrol engine produces 85 kW and 144 Nm, available with a five-speed manual or CVT automatic transmission. Ground clearance is 190 mm with luggage capacity of 385 litres.
Promotional Launch Pricing:
Sonet 1.5 MT LS (R284 995), Sonet 1.5 MT LS+ (R299 995), Sonet 1.5 CVT LS (R314 995), Sonet 1.5 CVT LS+ (R329 995), Sonet 1.5 CVT LX (R349 995), Sonet 1.5 CVT EX (R379 995) and the Sonet 1.5 CVT SX (R439 995).
