New Delhi

Kia India, the
fastest-growing carmaker in the country, announced the sales of 1,00,000 units
of its compact SUV – Sonet, a feat achieved in less than 12 months of its launch
in India.

During the same period, the
vehicle also became the fourth highest-selling SUV in the country. Introduced
in September 2020, the Kia Sonet has emerged as a breakthrough product in its
segment, contributing almost 17% to the segment and 32% to KIN’s overall sales.

Tae-Jin Park, Executive
Director and Chief Sales & Business Strategy Officer, Kia India, said that, the Sonet was launched when the auto
industry was facing its worst slump in history with the advent of COVID-19
pandemic. The Sonet has rewritten Kia’s success story in India and has made a
stronghold in the segment with its industry-leading features and
specifications. He added that the model has also revolutionised the adaption of
new technologies.

With the introduction of the
exclusively made-in-India Sonet, Kia set a benchmark in the compact-SUV segment
with its unique offerings and many first-in-segment features. Available in 17
variants, the Sonet is the only compact-SUV to offer a 1.5 litre Diesel engine
with automatic transmission, contributing almost 10% to its overall sales.

The company recently launched
the refreshed version of Sonet with ten new enhancements to further augment
customers’ convenience and their driving delight. The Sonet hosts a bold and
distinctive design that complements its several class-leading features and a
number of engine and transmission options, making it one of the most versatile
cars in the segment.

Kia is a global mobility brand with a vision to create
sustainable mobility solutions for consumers, communities, and societies around
the world. Founded in 1944, Kia has been providing mobility solutions for more
than 75 years.
