Ahead of its full-scale launch early next year, the Kia Sonet facelift got its global reveal in India on December 14. Interestingly, the pre-bookings for the new Sonet open on December 20, either through a dedicated online portal or any Kia showroom. The booking portal will enable buyers to book their car with a token amount of Rs 25,000, while the customer deliveries will commence in January 2024 for all variants, except for the Diesel MT (scheduled for February 2024).
Kia Sonet Facelift: Get Priority Deliveries with K-Code
However, for priority deliveries of the refreshed Kia Sonet, customers can take advantage of the unique K-Code delivery system. To get the special K-Code access, interested buyers need to reach out to the current Kia owners. The existing owners, in turn, can generate the K-Code through the 'MyKia' app or the official website. The K-Code when used while pre-booking ensures priority delivery of the new Sonet. The K-Code will remain applicable only for December 20 between 12 AM and 11:59 PM. Note that the unique K-code is not shared with anyone else as it can be used only once.
