K-style Street Star
Kia Philippines has rolled out a limited Sonet K-Style Edition, adding a Korean-inspired twist to its best-selling compact SUV for young and first-time car buyers in the country. The new variant is priced at Php 1,158,000 and is capped at only 150 units nationwide.
Launched under ACMobility, the mobility arm of Ayala Corporation, the Sonet K-Style Edition leans into Kia’s Korean roots and design-driven identity. It comes in two colors only, Sparkling Silver and Aurora Black, each paired with contrasting 16-inch alloy wheels.
Silver units get black wheels, while black units get silver wheels, giving the SUV a more standout, customized look. A K-Style side decal runs along the body to visually stretch the vehicle and highlight its sporty stance.
Under the hood, the Sonet K-Style Edition keeps the same 1.5-liter gasoline engine mated to an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The setup aims to balance smooth acceleration with fuel-efficient running for daily traffic and weekend trips alike.
Inside, the cabin focuses on tech and convenience. The SUV is equipped with a 10.25-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a digital instrument cluster, and an electric sunroof that brings more light into the interior. It also features Remote Keyless Entry and Remote Engine Start, allowing owners to unlock and start the vehicle with minimal effort.
For safety and driver assistance, the Sonet K-Style Edition is fitted with Kia DriveWise features such as Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Lane Following Assist, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist. These systems are designed to support the driver on longer journeys and in daily commutes. The model is backed by Kia’s 5-year or 160,000-kilometer warranty.
“The Kia Sonet K-Style celebrates the vibrant energy of today’s new generation of drivers,” said Jay Lopez, Managing Director of Kia Philippines, noting that the edition is aimed at buyers who want a first car that matches their personality and confidence on the road.
Kia Philippines currently has 40 dealerships in strategic locations nationwide and continues to position the Sonet as one of its key offerings in the growing compact SUV segment.
