MOBILITY | Ways the Kia Sonet will help alleviate your traffic stress
Discover how this small SUV’s best-in-class features can transform your daily drive.
If it wasn’t more obvious, driving in the country nowadays can be taxing. Roads can get clogged during rush hour, payday weekends, and certain holidays. With Kia Philippines having launched its Kia Sonet this June, expect happier days on the road from now on.
Primarily designed to cater to the needs of young millennials and Gen Z, the Kia Sonet’s striking design and best-in-class features make driving through traffic a breeze. For first-time car buyers or those looking for a reliable upgrade, here are five reasons why the Kia Sonet is tailored to reduce Filipinos’ travel stress and enhance their driving experience.
Drive safe and confident with DriveWise
Equipped with the Kia DriveWise suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, the Sonet ensures that you stay safe and stress-free on the road. Features such as Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Lane Following Assist (LFA), and Forward Collision Avoidance Assist (FCA), work together to keep you centered in your lane, maintain a safe distance from other vehicles, and avoid potential collisions. These advanced features, exclusive to the 1.5 SX AT variant, provide an extra layer of security and confidence, making your daily adventures more enjoyable.
Stay alert with driver attention warning
Taking long drives to La Union or Batangas can take a toll on the driver’s energy and alertness. The Kia Sonet’s Driver Attention Warning system is a driver’s best friend as it monitors your driving patterns and provides alerts if it detects signs of fatigue. This intelligent feature ensures drivers can stay attentive and responsive, reducing the risk of accidents and making their journey safer.
And if you’re stuck in stop-and-go traffic, the Kia Sonet’s Leading Vehicle Departure Alert lets you know if the car in front has moved forward through an audible sound and notification on the 10.25-inch LCD digital cluster. This is an asset in the urban setting.
With the Kia Sonet, Filipinos can now drive with peace of mind knowing that their vehicle is looking out for them too.
Enjoy seamless connectivity with 10.25” infotainment
Stay connected and entertained with the Sonet’s impressive dual 10.25-inch infotainment system and digital cluster. The full touchscreen display, and the 8-inch infotainment system found in the Sonet LX and EX, offers seamless integration with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing you to access your favorite apps, music, and navigation tools effortlessly without having to distract you from driving.
Additionally, the wireless phone charging feature ensures your devices remain powered up without the clutter of cables. This technology, coupled with modern design, keeps you connected and focused on the road, turning every drive into a delightful experience.
Relax in comfort, convenience
Everybody, no matter their shape or form, can feel cramped if stuck in long traffic jams. So seat comfort should be a factor in deciding your next vehicle purchase. The Kia Sonet’s interior is designed for ultimate comfort, featuring two-tone leather seats in the 1.5 SX AT variant and spacious seating for up to five passengers.
The McPherson Strut front suspension and Coupled Torsion Beam Axle rear suspension provide a smooth and stable ride, while the automatic air conditioning system maintains a pleasant temperature throughout the cabin, especially with the moody Philippine weather nowadays. These ensure a serene driving environment, helping you stay relaxed even during the most congested and stressful commutes.
Drive efficiently with powerful performance
The Kia Sonet’s four-cylinder 1.5-liter engine is powerful, smooth, and efficient, delivering 115 ps at 6,300 rpm and 144 Nm torque at 4,500 rpm. This powerful performance is complemented by excellent fuel efficiency, making the Sonet a practical choice for daily driving. With either the Kia Intelligent Variable Transmission or a 6-speed Manual Transmission, the new powertrain also makes the Sonet ideal for the adventurous young millennial. It ensures smooth gear shifts and optimal power delivery, providing a responsive and enjoyable driving experience.
With its innovative features and stylish design, the Sonet is your ultimate companion for daily drives and the perfect solution to traffic stress. From best-in-class features to state-of-the-art infotainment, unparalleled comfort, and efficient performance, the Kia Sonet is designed to meet the needs of all Filipinos, especially the younger generations looking at their very first car purchase. It’s exciting and reliable, best for both out-of-town adventures and city drives.
