Kia India has made subtle changes to the Sonet's exterior making it more of an evolutionary change rather than a revolutionary change. Its dimensions too remain the same as its predecessor.

The facelift version gets a revised front fascia featuring new L-shaped headlamps. These follow the star-map design language and irrespective of the variant, the shape remains the same.

While the basic shape of the front grille also remains the same, its inserts have been revised and the bumper has been re-sculpted.

The compact SUV's silhouette remains identical and the size of the alloy wheels is unchanged. The pattern on the X-Line has also been retained with subtle tweaks to it.

At the rear, the Sonet gets a new set of LED taillights connected by an LED light bar like the Seltos. These follow the same start-map design language of the carmaker.
