Kia’s upcoming sub-compact SUV has been spied once again, this time in South Korea. In the pictures, we can see the design of the new crystal cut alloy wheels.

New spy pictures of the upcoming Kia Sonet have surfaced online. The upcoming sun-4-metre SUV can be seen wearing full-body camouflage and a set of shiny new alloy wheels. A similar wheel design will also be sported by the upcoming next-gen Hyundai Creta.

In the picture above, we can clearly see the Kia Sonet with sporty yet classy looking, 16-inch, dual-tone alloy wheels. These will only be available on the top variants, with the base trims making do with steel wheels and wheel caps. Apart from that, we can also see a glimpse of the new headlamps and the outline of the company’s signature tiger-nose front grille. In another picture, we get a shot of the rear angle of the test car, in which the new LED taillamps are visible. Not many other details can be made out here, on account of the camouflage that aggressively hides the bodywork. Thankfully, we already know a lot of details about the car.
