Kia has officially revealed a new digital rendering of the upcoming Sonet SUV. The all-new Kia SUV is scheduled to make its public debut on 7th August 2020 and it will go on to rival the likes of Maruti Vitara Brezza

Kia has published yet another teaser image of its upcoming sub-4-meter SUV, Sonet. The SUV is all set to make its public debut on 7th August 2020. The latest teaser image previews the aggressive front-end of the car, which looks quite similar to that of the concept model which was showcased by the automaker earlier this year at the 2020 Auto Expo. The production-spec Kia Sonet will employ ‘Tiger Nose’ grille upfront, silver-coloured faux skid plate and sporty looking bumper. Illumination duties will be done by LED headlamps with integrated LED DRLs. The side profile of the SUV will employ blacked-out pillars, all black plastic cladding, sloping roofline and bold creases.
