New Kia Sonet has been caught testing in India and a 2027 launch is looking increasingly credible. Codenamed QY2E, the new model moves off the current K2 platform onto the newer K1 architecture — the same base the Kia Syros uses. Even through heavy camouflage, spy shots show a split headlight setup, Sorento-style DRLs, a redesigned front bumper, slimmer taillights and what looks like a curved dual-screen dashboard inside. The current-gen SUV starts at Rs 7.33 lakh (ex-showroom). The second-gen Kia Sonet will almost certainly launch higher — here’s what we know so far.
