Kia made some noise at this week’s 2020 Auto Expo in India, and among its big reveals were two concept cars: the Sonet and the Seltos X-Line.First up is the Sonet, which is an entirely new compact SUV from the Korean carmaker. It’s a stylish little concept that features Kia’s design cues, most notably the signature tiger-nose grille. In fact, it looks a lot like the Seltos from the front end. The Kia Sonet aims to cater to the tech-savvy crowd, with a cabin that boasts a 10.25-inch infotainment and navigation system with UVO connect, a premium Bose audio setup, and an intelligent manual transmission. Its maker has yet to reveal any further details, but Kia has confirmed that this will be launched in India by the second half of this year.
