TEMPO.CO, Jakarta – Kia Sonet made its global debut in India on Friday, August 7, 2020. A number of local online media estimate that this sub-compact SUV will be marketed at a price range of Rp. 137 million to Rp. 235 million. Sonet is the third model Kia marketed in India after Kia Carnival and Kia Seltos.
About this price is attractive. This is because Kia Sonet was caught on camera undergoing testing on an alleged highway in Jakarta. This means that this model will soon be marketed in Indonesia. It is possible that you will take advantage of the momentum at the Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS) automotive exhibition which will be held in October-November 2020.

For your information, the Kia Sonet is positioned below Kia Seltos which has been marketed in Indonesia since the beginning of the year. Kia Seltos is marketed in three variants at a price of Rp. 295 million, Rp. 320 million, and the most expensive is Rp. 355 million. This price is on the road for DKI Jakarta.
From the Seltos price list, and the price range in India, it is very possible that the Kia Sonet will be priced under Rp. 250 million. This model will fight with Suzuki Ignis in the entry level crossover segment. Ignis is sold with prices starting at Rp. 171 million to Rp. 200 million (on the road DKI Jakarta).
