Kia Sonet news

The 3XO has arrived with a host of segment-leading features to take on one of the most feature-loaded models in the segment: the Sonet

The Tata Nexon witnessed a month-on-month drop in sales of over 20 percent but still shipped over 10,000 units

Kia says 63 percent of buyers opted for the sub-4m SUV’s petrol powertrain

The biggest additions on the HTK (O) over the HTK are the sunroof and auto AC

The HTE (O) variant of the Sonet has made the sunroof more accessible to a wider spectrum of buyers

The Hyundai Venue was the only one in the segment to enjoy month-on-month growth in sales which placed it back ahead of the Kia Sonet

Renault Kiger and Nissan Magnite are the most readily available subcompact SUVs this April

Apart from new launches and updates, there have been some interesting spy shots as well

Both the Toyota Taisor and Maruti Fronx share the same powertrains and hence have the best-in-class claimed fuel efficiency figures

Along with the price hike, the Sonet now gets new variants and the Seltos now gets more affordable automatic variants

The sunroof becomes even more accessible on the Kia Sonet with these new variants

Many cars priced under Rs 30 lakh now offer more than one interior colour option, giving buyers additional choice

The price hike will be applicable to all mass market models, including Kia Sonet, Kia Seltos, and Kia Carens

The Venue and Sonet are essentially the same cars underneath, so it’s no wonder the price gap between their respective base-spec petrol variants is of just Rs 5,000

The updated XUV300 will offer a new design, revamped cabin, added features and the choice of both petrol and diesel engine options
