Kia South Africa has launched the new Sonet LS, setting a new standard for value-for-money motoring in the sub-R300,000 crossover segment.
Priced at R299,995, this exciting model joins the Sonet lineup, which was refreshed earlier this year, offering a blend of style, practicality, and advanced features.
Exceptional Value and Features
Competitive Pricing: Starting at R299,995, the Sonet LS is positioned to redefine value in the popular small SUV market.
Stylish Design: Featuring the same striking exterior as its siblings in the Sonet range, the LS model includes stylish 15-inch steel wheels and maintains a spacious cabin with dimensions placing it among leaders in the segment.
Spacious Interior: With a 385-litre boot capacity and generous legroom and headroom, the Sonet LS ensures comfort for both passengers and cargo.
Robust Performance: Powered by a 1.5-litre MPI engine, it produces 85 kW and 144 Nm of torque, available with both a 5-speed manual and a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
This setup guarantees a responsive driving experience without sacrificing fuel efficiency.
Safety Features: The new Sonet LS includes standard safety elements such as an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC), and multiple airbags, promoting confidence on the road.
Market Impact and Future Prospects
Paul Turnbull, CEO of Kia South Africa, notes that the Sonet’s attractive design, quality, and comprehensive feature set have made it the brand of choice for customers moving into or downgrading to the small SUV segment.
With the launch of the LS model, Kia aims to capture even more attention, especially from those displaced by the discontinuation of the Rio hatchback.

The introduction of the Sonet LS reinforces Kia’s commitment to offering exceptional value in its range, further enhanced by promotional offers that provide up to R40,000 in deal assistance across the Sonet lineup.
Kia’s reputation for unmatched quality, reliability, and comprehensive warranties complements the introduction of the Sonet LS, making it a compelling option for value-conscious consumers
The new Kia Sonet LS is not just another addition to the small SUV market; it’s a thoughtfully designed vehicle that addresses the needs of modern consumers looking for style, functionality, and affordability.
With its combination of features and competitive pricing, the Sonet LS is positioned to make a significant impact in the sub-R300,000 segment.
