Kia have launched the 2022 Sonet in the Indian market. The 2022 Sonet is now priced from Rs. 7.15 lakh ex-showroom. The 2022 Sonet offers more safety features as standard, as well as two new colour options like in the 2022 Seltos.

To cope with the ever-increasing competition, Kia India have added more standard safety features to the base variants of the Sonet. The newly-added safety features include front and side airbags and a high-line tyre pressure monitoring system. Other standard safety features include ABS with EBD, front seatbelts with pre-tensioners and load limiters, speed-sensing auto door lock, impact sensing auto door unlock, reverse parking sensors and seatbelt reminders.
