For 2023, Kia cars has decided to limit the exterior refresh to new lights, bumpers and alloy wheel design.

Other new elements include a muscular bumper and updated chrome grille that help enhance the SUVs appeal.
In profile, the car retains its overall design but features new design for the 16-inch alloy-wheels. At the rear we once again get to see connected LED tail lamps and reprofiled bumpers.
Moving inside, the Sonet facelift will continue to offer a premium experience featuring soft touch materials on the dashboard along with semi-leatherette upholstery. New equipment on offer include a coloured digital instrument cluster seen on many premium Hyundai and Kia car and a 4-way power adjustment driver’s seat.
