We compare it to the popular Toyota Raize
Kia Philippines is set to finally launch the 2024 Sonet, its entry-level subcompact crossover. Unlike the older Stonic that had a low, car-like profile, the Korean carmaker’s new little sports utility has a more traditional SUV shape with a taller roofline. For this size comparison, we’ll be pitting the new Sonet against the segment-favorite Toyota Raize. Let’s see how Kia’s new baby SUV stacks up against the established Toyota.
The Sonet rides on a 2,500mm wheelbase—25mm less between the axles than in the Raize. The small Kia’s ground clearance is around 205mm, which gives it a 5mm advantage over its Toyota rival. The Raize on the other hand had its global reveal way back in November 2019, and it was launched in the Philippine market later on in February 2022. Lower and mid variants are equipped with a naturally aspirated 87hp 1.2-liter non-turbo petrol engine, while the top variant packs a 97hp 1.0-liter turbo powerplant.
