We know almost everything about the Kia Sonet by now, aside from the pricing. The Sonet, set for a September 18 launch, has now received its list of variant-wise colour options.

Kia's entry in the sub-4m SUV space will be offered in six variants as part of two trim levels: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+, and GTX+. Spread across the GT Line and Tech Line trims, it gets a choice of 8 monotone and 3 dual-tone colour options, including two different shades of white.

The lower-spec variants get a different shade of white called Clear White, replaced in the top-spec variants by Glacier White Pearl. The base variants, HTX and HTK, get a choice of just four colour options, whereas the mid-spec variants get a choice of seven colours. Only the top-spec variants of the two lines get the additional choice of three dual-tone options, offering a full range of 10 colours.

Loaded with a massive list of features, the Sonet comes with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car technology, Bose sound system, wireless charging, ambient lighting, sunroof, and ventilated seats to name a few. Powertrain options consist of a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. These can be mated to a choice of 5-speed manual (MT), 6-speed intelligent manual transmission (iMT), 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), or 6-speed torque convertor (AT).

The Kia Sonet is expected to be priced from Rs 6.6 lakh to Rs 12.9 lakh (ex-showroom). It is expected to provide some serious competition to other sub-4m SUVs such as the Mahindra XUV300, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Ford EcoSport, and its sibling Hyundai Venue.
