**Key Details:**

- **Platform Migration** : Moving to Kia’s newer K1 platform (same as Syros) for improved structural rigidity, safety, and packaging with potential for increased wheelbase
- **Design Changes** : Flatter roofline, pronounced wheel arches, more squared-off rear profile, and vertically oriented lighting signatures following Kia’s global design language; rear section more upright to improve luggage space and headroom
- **Safety Enhancements** : Expected to achieve stronger Bharat NCAP performance, with potential for Level 2+ ADAS systems beyond the current Level 1 offering
- **Technology Upgrades** : Larger infotainment and digital displays, redesigned dashboard, enhanced connected car functions, panoramic display setup, 360-degree camera, and ventilated seats
- **Powertrain Options** : Expected to retain 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol, 1.0L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel engines at launch; strong-hybrid technology being evaluated for future inclusion
- **Segment Positioning** : Will continue competing against Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and Hyundai Venue in the sub-4-metre SUV segment

**Why It Matters:** The next Sonet will maintain Kia’s tradition of offering feature-rich compact SUVs while leveraging a modern platform to deliver improved safety, comfort, and connected technologies for the Indian market.
