Kia India recently announced that the Sonet sub-four-metre SUV achieved the four lakh unit sales milestone since it was originally introduced in September 2020. The carmaker chose the occasion to highlight a few more key numbers of the model.

This number is expected to increase with Kia introducing a sunroof right from the entry-level HTE variant. Coming back to the sales numbers, the petrol and diesel engine account for 63 per cent and 37 per cent of sales, respectively.
In the transmission department, the DCT and torque converter units contributed to 28 per cent of sales, while the iMT took 23 per cent of the pie.
