Kia Sonet Reviews

Kia Sonet addresses almost every requirement of a buyer in Sub compact SUV segment . Great looks, good engines and transmission, descent interior space, superb interior quality, largest boot in segment, good ride and handling, and many first in segment features...some reviews on social media has complained of cramped rear seats space but I haven't found any issues .My height is more than 5'10 and after adjusting driver's seat according to my height there is enough legroom space for rear passenger of even more than 6 feet. Shoulder room for three large adults may be a little tight but acceptable keeping in view of competition. And you won't drive with full five adults always, what really matters is largest bootspace of 392 litres which is useful in family shopping and luggage placing for long tours. High ground clearance of 205 mm is really helpful in broken and hilly terrain and steering response is confident. What I personally feel is that ride quality is not plush or absorbing like Tata nexon but comparable to the rest of segment. My requirement was a silent and powerful fuel efficient diesel engine with good features and Sonet HTX manual diesel fulfilled that with added strong drivability. I have purchased car 2 weeks back and driven it for 900 Kms and I'm very happy with my decision..I will keep posting further pros and cons as I drive it more and more...for fuel efficient concerns it's giving me 18.1 kmpl even I hardly shift to fifth gear due to road conditions..

Been driving close to a month post purchase of HTX, the imt seems to be providing a mixed experience of automatic and a manual trans. The rear seat comfort comes at compromising the easier ride quality, the drive is real smooth and mileage will really be shocking as you maneuver in slow traffic ~6-7kmpl, but if you drive in the highway the actual mileage might be pretty satisfactory, I drove in a normal traffic without revving much, and I get close to 11-12kmpl, which is way less than their claim of 18kmpl. Sonet loses the 1 star just for that. Other than that the wait period (3 months) was a killer, but I would say it was worth the wait.

The Kia Sonet delivers a strong punch in the subcompact crossover SUV segment. It’s feature-packed, with modern safety features like multiple airbags and tech-friendly interiors. The engine performance is lively, especially in the automatic variant. The fuel efficiency is great, but the suspension could feel a bit stiff on bumpy roads. Also, the rear space is slightly tight for taller passengers.

Sonet has really impressed me with its style and safety features. The engine performance is great for a subcompact crossover SUV, and the automatic variant makes city driving very easy. Space inside is good for a small family, and the boot space can handle weekend luggage. The fuel efficiency is also a big advantage, and it has a low maintenance cost.

Most feature loaded car in the segment with lots top spec features. ADAS, ventilated seats, bose music system, new digital tachometer, and the new connected taillamps looks stunning in the facelift model.
