The Kia Sonet has become one of the best selling compact SUVs within a few months of it launching. Today we came across this Sonet GTX Turbo which has been fitted with 20-inch alloys.

The Kia Sonet had pretty big shoes to step into. Its bigger sibling, the Seltos has been a very successful model for the brand in its 1 year of being on sale. Fortunately, the Sonet has been liked by the Indian consumer just as much, already finding over 20,000 happy owners since its launch a couple of months ago. Its eye-catching design, feature-packed variants, and aggressive pricing have made it the top-selling compact SUV in the Indian market currently. That’s even more impressive when you realize it competes against the new Nissan Magnite, Tata Nexon, and Hyundai Venue in a crowded segment. But what are the options for the Kia Sonet if you want to spend some cash on aftermarket products? Surely such a new vehicle in the segment won’t have many options. Well, you’ll be pleased to hear that there are already several third-party manufacturers who have started offering upgrades to the Sonet, and we came across these fetching rims for the compact SUV.
