2020 Kia Sonet

The 7 speed DCT on the Kia Sonet HTK Plus model is a huge disappointment. There is a very significant lag in acceleration, and makes it very tough to overtake, Especially on highways when you have no option but to get around trucks. The time between hitting the acceleration pedal and the car actually accelerating is often enough to miss the overtaking window. Even in reverse, it takes 7-8 seconds for the car to start moving by itself. It feels as if I am going uphill and have to hit the race pedal. The 7DCT performance is quite bad, and no service person even accepts that this is a problem, simply calling this a DCT feature. They usually don't have the technical capability to either understand, or since they can't do anything about they just ignore. All in all, a disappointing buy. I have to buy another car but have very low confidence on DCT now. But don't know if that is true for DCT in general, or Kia messed it up here. Hope they solve this!

Amazing car, looks really beautiful, drives very elegantly, has a ton of features. I have the iMT variant, it's really easy to drive and being clutch less, it is hassle-free in traffic jams. Best transmission for cities. Perfect overall package!

Minus servicing and spare parts cost its the best in the segment, aggressive looks, punchy acceleration, eye catching looks, capable driving mannerism on highways and to some extent on off road, surely a winner of the segment.

Good car love to drive my first car . Delivery was good staff of the show room was helpful . Trying to buy carens as of now. It's good for five members. Driving experience is good.
