- The new Sonet LS is set to redefine value-for-money motoring in popular sub-R300k crossover segment.

- Unbeatable offers on the full Sonet line-up for a limited period.

11 October 2024 – Kia South Africa this week introduces the new Sonet LS to the South African market. Positioned as an exciting new addition to the Sonet range launched in June this year, the LS brings an exceptional combination of style, features, and value. With a starting price of R299,995, it’s set to redefine value for money motoring in the popular sub-R300,000 crossover segment.

“The Kia Sonet has greatly contributed to Kia’s positioning as the brand of choice for people who value striking design as much
as world-class engineering, quality finishes and big car attitude,” comments Paul Turnbull, CEO, Kia South Africa. “With the introduction of the new Sonet LS at R299,995, we’re confident that its popularity will grow even further.”

The Kia Sonet has surpassed all expectations since its local introduction in 2021. Updated earlier this year with a striking new exterior design, an upgraded interior* and a repositioned range, it offers a comprehensive number of options in the highly competitive A-SUV segment of the market. Consistently praised for its outstanding build quality and overall reliability, the introduction of a new entry-point for Kia’s evergreen compact SUV strengthens its substantial value proposition even further.

21 years after its debut, the Kia Picanto remains Mzansi’s favourite big small car. However, the Picanto is no longer what you know it as, it’s been updated with innovative technology and a feisty facelift, meeting the demands of consumers, whether they're young professionals or empty nesters.
