Kia Sonet [2022-2023] User Reviews

Ultimate car with superb performance good for both city and highways. Engine performance best at this segment . Diesel engine performance is ultimate. Best family car at this price point. Ground clearance makes best for off roading and suspension makes beast stay intact at higher speeds. Driving comfort. At longer trips. Finally Sonet Diesel is a Performance oriented car.

Dpf function problem from buying sonet self regeneration problem this is worst car and company I have seen last 8 month company not solve problem with car. i suggest don't by this car.

Great pickup, good mileage, spacious, comfortable, enough and more ground clearance, tireless long distance ride, cool city driving, good audio, enough boot space.....what more is needed!! No wonder why it is high on demand and long waiting time, but trust me it is worth the wait. KiA Sonet Diesel AT - go for it!!

1) Yeah, buying a Kia car actually tests ur patience and I have been waiting for last 4 months... 2) You will definitely enjoy driving it....cabin is free from engine noise too. 3) It has a bold and stylish look....even its interior is eye-catchy.......engine is so refined which gives us smooth driving. 4) It's very well known that diesel cars require high maintenance and its servicing is also costly than petrol cars.

I just booked Sonet HTX 7DCT a week ago. It was love at first ride. I have taken test ride for Nexon AMT, Brezza TC, Venue DCT and Sonet DCT. Nexon's built quality is superb but AMT gearbox is not so responsive. Brezza is an overrated car. Look is boxy and old non turbo engine. Venue is more compact and rear is congested. Sonet in the other hand is good looking smart car. It's tiger nose grill makes it distinct from others. It's rear is also very attractive with full wrap around tail lamps. It's DCT gearbox with paddle shifters are very smart and responsive. You don't feel any lag at any speed. It's MID unit also unique and futuristic. It has electric sunroof which is icing on cake. Music system is fantastic. It's a complete family car within budget.

The car has distinct and macho exterior which are difficult to ignore. It has been an year since using the car, city mileage is about 12 and on highways it can give over 16. Have used the car in rainy season in Gurgaon without any issue so far. Ground clearance and suspension are good. Servicing team from dealer is proactive. Overall a good experience so far and confident that this will be a long selling product from Kia.

Fuel efficiency is the main problem in the iMT version, I am getting 8-9 km mileage in the city and 13 -14 km mileage on the highway which is very less compared to other brands available at this price tag. Manual version zis gives good mileage of 13-15 in city conditions and 19-20 on highway driving. Keep the mileage numbers in mind before buying the iMT version.

The Kia Sonet is one of the most stylish and well rounded compact SUVs among a slew of compact SUVs available in the market right now. After experiencing every other compact SUV in the market, the Kia Sonet was the one which struck my heart the most. It's fun and frugal engine with smooth 6-speed torque converter AT gearbox sealed the deal for me. The only diesel AT with a proper 'auto'box in the segment, the Kia Sonet is definitely a value for money proposition especially in its diesel AT form. I initially booked the Kia Sonet on the first of July 2022 from Incheon Kia dealership in Thrissur and the booking was made for the 7-speed Turbo DCT HTX variant of the car. The test drive had gone well and I booked it without any further thoughts, but over the next few days I began to hear excellent reviews of the Seltos and Creta's diesel engine and thought why not go for the diesel in the Sonet, so I immediately asked for the test drive from the dealership and the same was arranged within the next day. The test drive changed my option about diesels altogether. The car was so silent with hardly any vibrations unlike the diesels of old and the torque and smooth AT gearbox of the car made me switch from petrol to diesel. Moreover Knowing that the engine and gearbox is the same as the one on the Seltos and Creta made me feel that it was definitely the better choice, So the booking was revised and a tentative waiting period of 3 to 4 months was given to me and the wait began. It was on 12th October when I finally got a call from my sales executive that the car had completed production and was ready for dispatch. On 17th October, the vehicle arrived at the dealership, we immediately went for the PDI and funds were transferred for the car as well after the PDI. The car was ready for delivery on 25th October 2022 but since it wasn't the best day for delivery due to a solar eclipse on that day, we went for delivery on 26th October. The dealership organized a delivery ceremony and cake cutting as well, they even had a present for us at the event too. The joy of driving the car out of the dealership was out of this world. Moving on to the car itself, our car is a Black HTX Diesel AT which I feel is the most value for money diesel automatic you could get in the segment. The features on the HTX variant are just a notch below that of the GTX+ variant. The car is definitely feature packed for the price with an 8 inch touchscreen with reverse camera and wireless Android auto, semi leatherette seats, sunroof, rear AC vents, all requisite safety features like ABS,EBD, Hill Assist, VSM, Traction control modes, drive modes, 4 airbags etc. The car is reasonably spacious and has a large 392 litre boot as well. On the exterior, led headlamps,. Tail lamps, DRLs, fog lamps, diamond cut alloys and shark fin antenna all add to the flair of the car. Moving forward to the drive over the past two weeks, it is definitely super smooth and mileage over the past two weeks has been great too. The features on offer, fit, finish and quality levels are exemplary as well. I am absolutely satisfied with the car and would recommend anyone looking for an automatic compact SUV to try out this vehicle. You would definitely be impressed. It's definitely a mini-Seltos in every way and an excellent value for money proposition at the same time. No wonder it's selling like hot cakes and why Kia has been a hit in the market in such a short time.

The buying experience is good. Only the waiting period is not bearable. It looks like a good view and performance as well. Ground clearance is a nice feature realize many times. All pros are good.
