Kia Sonet Comparison with similar cars
Kia Sonet Review
From the glitzy Auto Expo show floor to your friendly neighbourhood showroom, Kia’s Sonet has crossed the bridge virtually unchanged. There’s confidence in Kia’s actions too, an outcome of the popularity of the Seltos and the acceptance of the Carnival Indians have shown. For not much else explains why the Sonet appears as loaded as it is, or comes with the drivetrain options that it does. Kia seems to think they have a winner on their hands. To be fair, we think the same too.

Pros & Cons of Kia Sonet
Things We Like
- Presence. Tall height and bonnet gives the Sonet a strong stance.
- Feature packed: ventilated seats, wireless charging, ambient lighting, Bose sound system and lots more.
- ‘Proper’ automatic options: 7-speed DCT for the turbo-petrol, 6-speed AT for the diesel.
- Comfortable ride quality: equally adept at tackling bad roads and high-speed cruising.
Things We Don't Like
- Limited rear-seat width limits usability as a 5-seater.
- Silly cost-cutting measures: backlight only for driver’s power window, missing chilled glovebox, adjustable front armrest.
- Automatic transmissions limited to mid-spec HTK+ and top-spec GTX+ variants only.
Stand Out Features
Ventilated Seats.
7-speaker Bose sound system with a subwoofer.
Air purifier with advanced filtration
Diesel engine with 6-speed automatic.
