00:09 Hi, hello and welcome friends. You are watching Tamil Drive Spark and it's me Giri.
00:12 Today we are in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh.
00:15 What we are doing here is, this car we have here doesn't need any introduction.
00:19 But Kia's famous model is now in the Indian market.
00:23 So, Kia Sonet has given a design update along with a lot of technology and convenience factors.
00:31 They have also given an ADAS level 1 feature update.
00:34 So, I will talk about the ADAS feature at the end of this video.
00:37 So, let's see what design changes have been made to this car and what changes have been made to the interior.
00:43 [MUSIC]
00:54 Before I talk about the design changes, let me tell you about the price of this car.
00:59 The colour you see here is called matte graphite.
01:03 It's my personal favourite colour.
01:05 You have 10 colour options, single tone and mono tone.
01:10 But, I personally like this matte graphite colour.
01:14 If you notice, you can see that they haven't used chrome anywhere.
01:18 So, I personally don't like it if there is too much chrome.
01:21 But, chrome lovers can think about this colour.
01:25 But, still I like this matte finish.
01:28 If you see a different colour change, you can see a brushed aluminium finish in the Kia badges given in the centre.
01:35 So, next, if I don't tell you more about this design,
01:38 another attractive thing is this grill in honeycomb pattern.
01:42 So, in the grill, they used to give chrome inserts to add a muscular and premium feel.
01:49 But, still, the inserts in this grill with piano black finish,
01:54 even if you don't see it in detail in the camera, it looks very attractive when you see it live.
02:00 Similarly, they have given a small groove here.
02:02 So, when we mix the two, the pattern of the grill looks very good.
02:06 In the lower grill, they have given the same honeycomb pattern in the piano black finish.
02:11 So, all these are functional because everything is open.
02:14 So, you will definitely get the air intake that is required for the engine.
02:17 So, the main change they have made in this is,
02:20 the star map DRLs that you see here,
02:24 they have given this to you recently when you face-lifted in Kia's cell towers.
02:28 So, they have carried forwarded the same here.
02:30 They have also given a crown jewel headlamp.
02:33 They have given three segments, high beam, low beam, etc.
02:37 But, all these are in a single cluster, in a single glass panel.
02:41 In the evening or night time, the road presence will be very good when you see it from the front.
02:48 Similarly, the major change is that they have given a sleek fog lamp.
02:52 But, Kia has claimed that it will give good visibility in foggy times.
02:56 So, we have to check how much visibility it will give in that sleekness.
03:01 So, next, when we see this vehicle, it gives a muscled and muscular feel.
03:06 It gives a small SUV-esque look.
03:08 The main reason for that is,
03:10 the bonnet lines that are given on this bonnet.
03:13 So, because of these bonnet lines, when you see the vehicle from the front, it gives a good muscular look.
03:18 So, next, as I said earlier, they have given an EDAS function, 11-volt EDAS.
03:22 So, you can see the camera in the windshield.
03:24 I will show you when I come inside and explain.
03:27 Next, they have given a camera in the front and a camera in the rear.
03:31 Similarly, they have given a camera in both the ORVMs for 360-degree function.
03:35 So, I will explain how the camera's clarity is and show you.
03:39 So, now, if we talk about the side design of this vehicle,
03:44 the first thing that gives you an attraction is the 16-inch alloy wheels used in this.
03:49 It can be called a machine cut.
03:51 It is not a single tone, but a piano black and a chrome finish in a dual tone color.
03:57 So, for this vehicle, those 16-inch wheels give me a very sufficient look.
04:03 Next, even though the silhouettes are the same, they have given a very subtle design.
04:09 You can't see the body lines anywhere, but there is a small curve.
04:12 To enhance that, they have given a small body cladding line in a piano black finish.
04:17 Similarly, ORVM has given a piano black finish with integrated indicators.
04:23 Plus, they have given a matte finish black on the door cover.
04:26 So, this graphite black and the matte finish black with piano finish,
04:30 gives a sporty look from the side.
04:32 Plus, even though it has a subtle design, it definitely gives a premium look from the side.
04:37 Next, if you look at the top, they have given a piano black finish roof rails.
04:41 But, it is not a functional roof rails.
04:43 But, if you need it, if you use more load, if you use more luggage,
04:48 it is definitely a functional roof rails.
04:51 You can change it through accessories.
04:53 So, next, if you look at it from the side,
04:56 let it be a new headlamp design or a rear tail lamp design,
05:00 when you look at it from the side, its curve and its sharp edge,
05:04 gives you a sporty look from the top in this Kia Sonet.
05:08 So, these are all about the side design.
05:10 Now, let's see what design they have changed in the rear.
05:13 If I have to tell you about the rear design of Kia Sonet,
05:18 I was very much attracted to the rear design.
05:21 In recent days, there are many vehicles coming out,
05:24 but this Sonet, this segment vehicle,
05:26 it is very good to have this connected tail lamp.
05:29 So, the same star map LED tail lamp in the front,
05:34 they have carried forwarded that design.
05:36 The bar in the middle will glow,
05:39 this feature will glow only in the top end variant.
05:42 If you do the base variant, the tail lamp will be in the same design.
05:45 This connected bar will not be functional,
05:47 it will be there just for aesthetic purposes.
05:49 So, next, if you look at the bottom,
05:50 you have Sonet badging, Kia badging in the center,
05:52 they have given a badging called X-Line.
05:54 Because X-Line is the top variant of Kia in this Sonet,
05:58 so, what we are driving now is a top variant.
06:01 About the engine options,
06:02 there are transmission options,
06:04 I will tell you when I drive the vehicle.
06:06 In addition, they have given an integrated spoiler,
06:10 in the same body color,
06:11 it is very attractive,
06:12 when viewed from the side or from the rear.
06:14 Similarly, they have given a third stop light below.
06:17 Plus, they have used a little more chrome,
06:20 that is the design element.
06:22 They have given small groove lines in the side fender,
06:25 and given a plate in a piano black finish.
06:28 When viewed from the side or from the rear,
06:30 it will be very attractive.
06:32 Next, when talking about the rear,
06:34 we will talk about the boot space.
06:36 If you access this,
06:38 they have given a request sensor,
06:40 you have to access it through that.
06:41 The boot lid is not very heavy,
06:43 plus, it has hydraulic studs,
06:45 so, it is very easy to open the boot.
06:47 Here, they have given 385 liters of boot space,
06:53 in that, we can store massive luggage.
06:57 We have kept two small bags here,
06:59 to carry the necessary clothes and other things.
07:05 We have kept two such bags.
07:07 There is a lot of space beyond this,
07:09 additional space is required,
07:11 if you are traveling alone.
07:13 They have given 60/40 split,
07:15 you can use that to increase your boot space.
07:20 So, we have covered the exterior and boot space.
07:23 Now, let's see what they have updated,
07:25 design wise and technology wise.
07:29 Now, we are in the rear seat of Kia Sonet.
07:35 The rear seat is very comfortable,
07:37 they have given perforated seats,
07:39 the upholstery gives you a good comfort.
07:42 Plus, they have given a little more under thigh support,
07:49 so, they have taken the feedback of previous customers,
07:53 so, it is a good thing to get customer feedback.
07:55 Next, they have added a sun shade for both the rear seats.
08:03 So, if you want a better AC feel,
08:09 or if you want a small privacy,
08:11 you can use the sun shade.
08:13 Next, if you are traveling upright,
08:16 or if you are traveling long,
08:18 you can sit in a reclined position,
08:22 they have given an adjustable headrest for your convenience.
08:26 This is for three people,
08:28 but only two passengers can adjust it.
08:30 It is fixed for the center passenger.
08:32 So, to make you more comfortable,
08:34 they have given a center arm rest with two cup holders.
08:38 They have given the cup holder in a design size,
08:41 because it is not just a name check,
08:43 it is functional,
08:45 plus the height of the arm rest is also very high.
08:48 I have seen some vehicles with a low arm rest,
08:51 but this is comfortable for a sitting position.
08:55 Another convenience factor is,
08:57 they have given two air vents,
08:59 but there is no blower control or temperature control,
09:02 you can adjust it only by the direction.
09:04 Below that, there is another convenience factor,
09:07 they have given two C port charging sockets.
09:09 There is a small cubby hole above,
09:11 you cannot fully accommodate the phone there,
09:14 so if you charge it,
09:16 you can rest the phone in the magazine holders.
09:19 When Kia launched the cellulose in the Covid time,
09:22 they have introduced a smart air purifier,
09:25 which purifies the virus,
09:27 which is a safety purpose.
09:29 So, they have given the same smart purifier in this vehicle.
09:35 Our cabin will be safe,
09:37 and we will have a breathing and pollution free cabin.
09:41 So, if we talk about the rear seat,
09:44 let's see what changes have been made in the front.
09:47 So, we are in the front seat of Kia Sonet.
09:54 What I found attractive was,
09:56 the dashboard is not too much of a jazz factor,
09:59 it is very subtle,
10:01 the color combinations they use are very subtle.
10:04 You can see only two colors,
10:06 one is the dashboard with a matte finish,
10:09 and the other is the piano black with inserts.
10:12 The major change is the infotainment system,
10:15 which is a bit larger in size.
10:17 The current infotainment system is 10.25 inches.
10:20 So, if we talk about the touch sensitivity,
10:23 the user interface is very good.
10:25 This is an additional safety warning,
10:27 but if we are on the battery for a long time,
10:30 it will give you a warning,
10:32 and it is a safer purpose to switch off.
10:35 Plus, you have many options,
10:37 like the Apple CarPlay,
10:39 but this is a connected feature,
10:41 and it is a wireless feature,
10:43 which adds a little convenience factor.
10:45 Plus, the camera clarity is very good,
10:48 and you can take the navigation here,
10:51 so the clarity of the map is very good.
10:54 So, next up, they have given you air vents,
10:57 but it is not circular or square,
10:59 but a vertical slot.
11:01 It is a little attractive,
11:03 plus it is a little space consuming.
11:05 They have given you grooves in the piano black finish,
11:08 which gives a good feel when you are inside the car.
11:11 They have given you a hazard light,
11:13 and a rear end defogger.
11:15 So, we have seen in many infotainment systems,
11:17 where the AC controls are,
11:19 but the display is in the infotainment system.
11:21 But, in this, to see the display,
11:23 they have given a small display here,
11:25 which is an additional convenience factor.
11:27 Plus, if I talk about the front seats,
11:29 both of them have given you ventilated seats,
11:32 plus, to add sportiness,
11:35 they have given a red colored contact stitching,
11:38 so when you see the grey finish,
11:40 the sportiness is added.
11:42 Similarly, for that,
11:44 they have given you the ventilation activate and deactivate buttons,
11:47 plus, to add something more to this,
11:49 they have added a traction mode.
11:51 As I said earlier,
11:53 we tried a mild off-roading,
11:55 so we used the traction at that time,
11:57 so its performance was good.
11:59 So, next up, they have given you
12:01 a wireless charger,
12:03 below that,
12:05 you have a C type charger,
12:07 plus a USB,
12:09 along with that, a 12V socket is also there.
12:11 Similarly, there is a small phone holder here,
12:14 for example, many people use two phones,
12:16 even if not,
12:18 if we have a driver's phone,
12:20 we can definitely keep a co-passenger's phone there.
12:22 Next, if I talk about the storage space,
12:24 you have a glove box,
12:26 they have given two cubby holes here,
12:28 plus, center armrest is fixed,
12:30 below that,
12:32 they have given a lot of space,
12:34 from our wallet, phone,
12:36 we can accommodate our wallet in that.
12:38 Plus, in all door panels,
12:40 there is a storage space of 1 liter bottle.
12:42 Now, we are driving an automatic variant,
12:44 so they have given a gear lever.
12:46 I will tell you how it is while driving,
12:48 and how is the transmission performance while driving.
12:50 So, next, if you see,
12:52 you have another main screen,
12:54 instrument cluster,
12:56 its layout was very subtle and decent for me,
12:58 but in the center,
13:00 you can see all the information you need for driving.
13:02 Plus, if you drive manually,
13:04 its layout and color will change,
13:06 so it will give you an attractive
13:08 or sportiness feel while driving manually.
13:10 So, while driving manually,
13:12 you can shift up and down through the lever here,
13:14 or else,
13:16 in this three-spoke sporty steering wheel,
13:18 they have given paddle shifters,
13:20 along with that,
13:22 a flat bottom and brushed aluminum finish,
13:24 when you see all these,
13:26 you will get a very good grip.
13:28 About the mounted controls,
13:30 you have voice command activation,
13:32 phone receive, and infotainment system buttons.
13:34 On the right side,
13:36 you have an instrument cluster,
13:38 buttons to control the cruise control,
13:40 and also,
13:42 you can adjust the right commanding position,
13:44 or for your comfort,
13:46 they have given a tilt option,
13:48 but you can only do it up and down,
13:50 they have not given a telescopic option.
13:52 So, next, I have already told you about
13:54 the camera clarity,
13:56 when you see the camera clarity,
13:58 it is very good,
14:00 and you can see both the screens in 360 degree position,
14:02 and also, you can see the rear
14:04 guidelines,
14:06 so, additionally,
14:08 it gives a clean feel to the safety purpose,
14:10 because both of us can see at a time.
14:12 Also, when the door opens,
14:14 they have given an indicator.
14:16 Next, when I was talking about the instrument cluster,
14:18 I forgot to mention one thing,
14:20 like in the Seltos,
14:22 when you put the indicator,
14:24 the blind spot view,
14:26 like an alert will be seen,
14:28 it will be visible in the instrument cluster,
14:30 so, it will be an additional safety purpose.
14:32 So, how is the ADAS function,
14:34 are there any changes in the engine option,
14:36 what are the changes in the driving,
14:38 I will tell you all these,
14:40 after driving the car,
14:42 so, let's go for a quick drive, come.
14:44 So, now, we are in the driver seat of our new SUV,
14:48 before I tell you about the driving,
14:50 I will tell you about the engine options,
14:52 in this, they have given you 3 engine options,
14:54 2 petrol, 1 diesel,
14:56 in petrol, you have 1 litre petrol,
14:58 1.2 litre petrol engine,
15:00 and now, we are driving,
15:02 1.5 litre diesel engine,
15:04 so, the power figure of this diesel engine,
15:06 is 115 PS of power,
15:08 so, in transmission option,
15:10 they have given you many options,
15:12 5 speed manual, 6 speed IMD,
15:14 6 speed automatic, 7 speed DCT,
15:16 many options,
15:18 if in case,
15:20 you are a DCT prior,
15:22 you have only one option,
15:24 1 litre petrol,
15:26 in that only you will get 7 speed DCT,
15:28 AMT, now we are driving,
15:30 is automatic,
15:32 so, in automatic,
15:34 all the automatic has a lag,
15:36 but when I give throttle,
15:38 the initial torque and power,
15:40 you will feel it very well,
15:42 but when the gear shift time comes,
15:44 before the gear shift,
15:46 it will go to a peak,
15:48 and it will rev,
15:50 and the rev sound,
15:52 even if it is good in N/H level,
15:54 you will feel the rev sound in cabin,
15:56 in low torque also,
15:58 you will feel the lag,
16:00 same in down shift,
16:02 you can use manual and gear lever,
16:04 or you can use the paddle shifter,
16:06 but, in automatic,
16:08 when you use paddle shifter,
16:10 you will feel the lag,
16:12 but if you want to overtake,
16:14 you can use paddle shifter,
16:16 next, I will tell you about the steering wheel input,
16:18 steering wheel input, suspension, brakes,
16:20 all are in current existing Sonet,
16:22 but, in suspension,
16:24 they have refined it slightly,
16:26 but still, I felt it is in a slight stiffer side,
16:28 so, for a sporty car like this,
16:30 it has a stiffened suspension,
16:32 in good factors,
16:34 because, if we are driving in an aggressive corner,
16:36 or a fun to ride,
16:38 that suspension will be very convenient,
16:40 so, in some part,
16:42 if you feel the thud in a pothole,
16:44 it is not there,
16:46 because, it is a very comfortable seat,
16:48 if you go through a pothole in high speed,
16:50 you will feel the thud,
16:52 but, it will not be harsh,
16:54 it will be in a comfort range,
16:56 the body will be slightly rolled,
16:58 next,
17:00 if we talk about the brakes,
17:02 all four have disc brakes,
17:04 performance wise,
17:06 for this segment vehicle,
17:08 for this kind of a rev range vehicle,
17:10 the braking is very accurate,
17:12 initially, it takes time to get used to it,
17:14 but, if you get used to it,
17:16 and if you calculate the braking distance,
17:18 this vehicle will be very fun to drive,
17:20 in Bhopal,
17:22 we are trying to drive in narrow roads,
17:24 still, we reached 120 km/hr,
17:26 but,
17:28 it is very easy to reach 100 km/hr,
17:30 simultaneously,
17:32 you will reach that speed,
17:34 but, if you go from 120 to 140 km/hr,
17:36 you will feel the power drop,
17:38 it will be very slow,
17:40 you will feel the power drop,
17:42 you can feel the power drop,
17:44 only if you have that much of stretch,
17:46 next, if we talk about the safety features,
17:48 the main feature they have added,
17:50 is the level 1 ADAS feature,
17:52 for this, you will get a forward collision warning,
17:54 lane keep assist,
17:56 blind spot monitoring,
17:58 I have already told you,
18:00 we can see that in the instrument cluster,
18:02 for this kind of a thing,
18:04 you will get slight braking delay,
18:06 but, if you are driving for the first time,
18:08 you will feel the slight irritation,
18:10 but, you will get used to it,
18:12 if you still don't want the light inputs,
18:14 you can switch off the ADAS feature,
18:16 by going to the infotainment system,
18:18 so, I have already told you,
18:20 the features they have added,
18:22 for the exterior design,
18:24 for that price range,
18:26 if you feel that it is accurate,
18:28 this will be the best option for you,
18:30 if you get a chance,
18:32 do check it out.
18:34 As I told you in the beginning of this video,
18:36 the price of this vehicle is not yet announced,
18:38 but, it was unveiled recently,
18:40 now we are here to test drive it,
18:42 we can expect the launch of this vehicle soon,
18:44 so, we will get to know the actual price,
18:46 when it launches,
18:48 but, the updated features and design update,
18:50 plus the previous model,
18:52 the existing model,
18:54 if we compare the price range,
18:56 we expect it to be around 15.5 to 16 lakhs,
18:58 we expect it to be around 15.5 to 16 lakhs,
19:00 we expect it to be around 15.5 to 16 lakhs,
19:02 we expect it to be around 15.5 to 16 lakhs,
19:04 the key is,
19:06 we expect it to be more competitive and aggressive,
19:08 we expect it to be more competitive and aggressive,
19:10 so, we will get to know the actual price,
19:12 so, the price range we expected,
19:14 the additional features,
19:16 the level 1 add-ons,
19:18 what do you think about it,
19:20 do share it with us in the comment section,
19:22 do like and share this video,
19:24 do subscribe to Tamil Drive Spark,
19:26 it's me Giri signing off for Tamil Drive Spark,
19:28 meet you in another video,
19:30 stay safe and drive safe.
