Purchased Sonet Diest AT top model few months ago, In city condition (Hyderabad) i get 11-14km/Lt. On highways, we get 18-21 based on driving style. Rear seat is not so good, but overall satisfied . Engine is very silent on high speeds and completed 19000Kms
Focuses heavily on Kia’s strong points—premium cabin tech, segment-first features, and bold road presence.. Buying Experience & Looks The purchase process at the Kia dealership was incredibly smooth, transparent, and well-managed. Visually, the Sonet stands out effortlessly in the compact SUV segment. It features a bold, muscular stance, an aggressive front grille, and striking LED lights that give it an excellent, high-class road presence. Interiors & Comfort Step inside, and the cabin feels instantly premium. It is easily one of the most feature-loaded and tech-savvy cars in its price segment. The dashboard layout is intuitive, the touchscreen infotainment is highly responsive, and the front seats offer great bolstering and comfort for long drives. However, the rear seat space is a bit of a pinch; it is best suited for two adults rather than three, and taller passengers might find the knee room a little tight. Performance & Handling Driving the Sonet in city traffic is absolutely effortless. The steering is light and nimble, making it very easy to maneuver through tight spots and park in crowded areas. On the open highway, the car shows impressive stability and feels planted at higher speeds. The ride quality is generally good, though the suspension is tuned slightly on the firmer side, meaning you will feel sharp bumps and potholes inside the cabin when driving at lower speeds. Mileage & Maintenance In bumper-to-city traffic, the car delivers a practical mileage of around 11–13 kmpl. On the highways, if you maintain steady speeds, the fuel economy easily goes up to 16–18 kmpl, making it a fairly balanced mile-muncher. Kia's after-sales service has also been quite positive and hassle-free so far.
Style and comfert. The 2024 Kia Sonet HTK(O) impresses with its stylish looks, comfortable second-row seating, and a powerful engine. With 8,000 km driven, it delivers a smooth, efficient drive, making it a great choice for both city commutes and long highway trips.
Excellent so far. Very good driving experience, mileage is consistent till now 60 km driven. In the city, getting 14-26 kmpl mileage. Also, on the highway, getting 25+ km/l. The diesel variant has very good power. Max Speed I drove at 170 km/h. Very good comfort on the rear seat row.
Honest review. Honest Review of My Kia Sonet Anniversary Edition (3 Years) I have been using my Kia Sonet Anniversary Edition for the past three years, and overall it has been a very satisfying experience. Some aspects of the car really stand out, while a few areas could have been better especially rear seat space and shocks are a bit stiff.
Low performance. Very low mileage, very bad performance, low pick up, back seat not comfortable, backside tyre distance short when car running on the road, the back side hits. Don't buy this car, better to buy another car.
Kia Sonet. This is my very first car, and I must say, it’s been a delight so far. From the outside, it looks stunning, and from the inside, it feels even more premium—almost like being in a luxury car. The finishing, feel, touch, and overall comfort are excellent. I opted for the HTK optional variant, which comes loaded with features like automatic AC, automatic headlights, foldable ORVMs, a sunroof, rear AC vents, and one-touch automatic window controls (operable both individually and from the driver’s seat). The driving experience is smooth and enjoyable. Yes, you can feel the bumps a bit on potholes if you’re going fast, but overall, the suspension works well. Currently, I’m getting an average of 9–10 km/l, but I have only driven 240 km in the past two months, so I expect it to improve. The handling is excellent, and driving it is genuinely fun. I have already completed the first service, which mainly involved routine checks. My experience with Kia’s service centre was great—they handle everything smoothly, take regular follow-ups, and keep you updated via WhatsApp with details and photos of the work being done. It gives you complete peace of mind without having to put in much effort yourself. Also, boot space is quite good and rear seat comfort is also fine. Safety is also good, 6 airbags, tyre monitoring, front and back parking sensors with a camera. EBD, EBS, front disc and rear drum brakes. Height-adjustable seats with all functionality provided on the car steering. Car steering is also adjustable, but not telescopic.
Very Poor mileage. Very Poor Mileage of 6-7 kms City ride and 11-12 kms Highway as against the Company's claim of 18 km. Lags initial torque.Poor back seat comfort. I strongly recommend not to buy KIA Sonet.
Good car with bad suspension setup. I bought this car purely for the 1.5 diesel with TC gearbox, but during test drives, the car appears ok. But the suspension is so bad that it starts jumping on highway joints. The car seat is not that comfortable, but livable, suspension is at its worst.
experience. Best experience ever and fully isolated cabin no noise here But rear leg space Short. Best Steering wheel D-cut, and all the features are here; best combo car under 10.5 lakhs
You should know before buying sonet??. Owning the Kia Sonet has been a surprisingly satisfying experience. From the moment I took delivery, its bold stance and tiger-nose grille turned heads in my neighborhood. I opted for the 1.5L diesel automatic—smooth, punchy, and fuel-efficient, giving me around 21 kmpl on highway runs. The cabin feels premium for its segment: ventilated front seats, a crisp 10.25-inch touchscreen, and that Bose sound system—chef’s kiss during long drives. The steering is light in the city and stable on highways. Parking is a breeze with the rear camera and sensors. I’ve used the wireless Android Auto daily, and the sunroof adds a nice touch of flair. The rear seat space is decent for kids, though taller adults might feel a bit snug. What really impressed me was the safety kit—six airbags, ESC, and hill assist. During monsoons in Udupi, the grip and braking gave me confidence. Service costs have been reasonable, and Kia’s network is growing fast. It’s not just a car—it’s a statement. Sporty, tech-packed, and reliable. If you want a compact SUV that feels premium without breaking the bank, the Sonet delivers. I’d recommend it to anyone who wants style with substance.
We upgraded from Xuv 3OO W6 Diesel MT to Sonet HTX (O)Diesel Auto. We didn't go with 3XO as it had AMT for such a price and Sonet has torque converter. Pros: The main upgrade I felt was, Sonet got better quality interiors, Torque converter, interior& exterior styling(Subjective) and feature loaded(even though it's not high end we got ventilated seats, alloys, remote start and much more). Since we have the last facelift model with wider DRL, the car is a looker. Also, better boot space than 3OO. Cons: But, the main issue with the Sonet is hard suspension. 3OO was much more stable at high speeds, felt solid and decently comfy but sonet ride quality is not that good. Also, Sonet can't fit 3 people at second row due to less width. Also, I hate the HTX(O) variant's calculator styled speedo(My 3OO had classic Analogue cluster). Overall solid, hefty feel is lacking. I think if you are upgrading from smaller/lower segment cars, these cons might not be that visible.
Comfortable. Good working pattern, comfortable seating arrangement, look wise awesome. There better performance to pick up all module in next level variant. All quality and interior is also good. In the talk to safety having quick response by incident. The top model mileage capacity also better so far. The quailty of the vehicle is best.
Sonet The Best. Good mascular car but mileage is the problem. Premium-looking interior and feature list for the price. Easy to drive in city traffic due to compact dimensions. Turbo-petrol and diesel engines offer good performance. Comfortable front seats and good highway stability. Overall the car looks good, worth buying it. I'm loving this car.
CRDI Engine Diesel AT. Good family compact SUV. Purchased Diesel AT HTX Variant on last January 2026. Crdi engine is top notch. Perfomance wise is good engine on this segment. Premium interior, especially ventilated seats are very useful during summer. 6 Airbags standard. Automatic climate control AC. Good mileage in diesel automatic variant.
The perfect balance of style, features and practicality for Indian families!!!. I purchased the Kia Sonet HTK Optional after comparing several cars in this segment, and it has turned out to be one of my best decisions. The buying experience was smooth, and the dealership staff explained all the features and variants clearly, which made the selection process easy. The first thing that impressed me was the road presence. The Sonet looks premium and sporty, and many people still ask if it's a higher variant. The LED DRLs, alloy wheels, and overall design make it stand out on the road. The cabin feels modern, and the fit and finish are surprisingly good for this price range. Driving in city traffic is effortless due to its compact dimensions, while highway drives feel stable and confidence-inspiring. The suspension is well balanced and handles bad roads comfortably without making passengers feel uneasy. The engine performance is smooth and refined, and the steering is light for city use while offering good confidence at higher speeds. What I particularly like is that the HTK Optional variant offers excellent value for money. It gives most of the practical features that families need without stretching the budget to higher variants. The rear seat comfort, boot space, and infotainment system are all adequate for daily commuting and weekend trips. Service costs have been reasonable so far, and Kia's service network has been satisfactory. Pros: Premium looks, feature-rich package, comfortable ride quality, practical cabin space, easy city driving, good value for money. Cons: Rear visibility could have been slightly better, and some premium features are reserved for higher variants.
Kia Sonet - Stylish Opulent Nimble Efficient Trendy. The need for a new car arose in late 2022, when we wanted a better car for longer trips, and our old car wasn't doing the job. So we searched for a real automatic car, barring AMTs, as our previous experience with AMTs wasn't great, we wanted something that is fuel efficient with good ground clearance and features, all under 15 lakhs on the road at the time. So we weren't initially interested in Diesel, considering most were mated to AMTs, but then one day the Sonet caught our eye. It had the same 1.5 1.5-litre diesel engine as the larger Seltos mated to a Torque Converter Automatic. This was perhaps a unique proposition in the sub-four-metre SUV space then, as no car had a Diesel Automatic then, all had Diesel AMTs only. So we went to the showroom and got a test drive, and we were immediately impressed. We had gone for test drives on other cars in the segment, but none of them had all of us happy like the Sonet. So we decided to proceed with the purchase. The buying experience was excellent, with everything arranged quite quickly. There was a delivery ceremony with cake cutting and key handover; it was such a great experience from Kia Thrissur. Now, coming to the driving, the car drives well, with no smooth shifts and linear acceleration, the torque is addictive and overtakes on the highway are easy, the car is a good mile muncher too and gives great mileage on the highway and the city alike, I have got over 26 kmpl on the highway while average mileage stands at around 19 kmpl, in the city, the mileage does take a dip but I have been getting around 15 kmpl and I am quite satisfied with the mileage. We have gone on trips from Thrissur to Bangalore, Thrissur to Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur to Wayanad, Thrissur to Chennai and a whole lot more on our Sonet, and the comfort, mileage and reassurance that the Sonet gives us is second to none. Coming to looks, it is a looker even today, and the Aurora Black Pearl colour perfectly complements its curves and creases. The car looks bold in this colour, and we are absolutely in love with the car's looks. Moving on to features, it is one of the most feature-loaded cars in the segment with features like remote engine start-stop, reverse camera, touchscreen infotainment, rear sunblinds, sunroof, TPMS and a whole lot more. The boot is large with 392 litres to gobble up all your luggage. As regards performance, it is a perfect match of mileage and performance, when you want the best from it in terms of performance, it gives it to you with a 0 to 100 time of around 11 seconds, while if you crave mileage you can chug along the entire day around 60 kmph and get mileage in the 20s too. Coming to servicing and maintenance, we had taken the Kia My Convenience Pack for 5 years at the time of purchase, which is a worthy investment and services are taken care of for 5 years. The service team are professional and always enquires about our experiences with the car and anything that needs to be done. Services are always done on time, and the team provides free pickup and drop too. The service from Kia is top-notch, and I couldn't be happier. To conclude, I would be providing a list of the Pros and Cons of the vehicle over my 2 years of ownership: Pros: 1. Feature-rich 2. Powerful engine 3. Excellent Fuel Economy 4. Stylish design 5. Excellent After-Sales Cons: 1. Rear Seat isn't the most spacious, best for 2 adults 2. Bumpy ride at high speeds
Value For Money Car Under Budget Of 10 Lakhs. This car is very good looking, engine is also refined but fuel efficiency is some what low. Car has all the necessary features and also offers sunroof in this budget. First in segment which offers curtains at back seats also has sun glass holder and diesel engine has very good power in it , htk + is the best and most value offering variant.
I'm using a diesel automatic Kia, top-of-the-line previous version. It's been 3 years and 30k KM with zero issues! Kia service is amazing – they really prioritize customer satisfaction. It's such a smooth cruiser; 100-120 km/h is effortless. I've driven 800km and 1200km non-stop in two days! Mileage is around 20-21 on highways and 12-13 in city traffic. Perfect family car if you are 4 people with kids! Boot space is really good too. And it's powerful – 40-100 and 80-120 are super quick! 🤩🚗💨
Driving is smooth & Comfortable for all age groups. Rear leg space is ok for children but not for tall height. Road presence is good Engine power is good in the desiel variant SMT technology is superb Fuel efficiency is good on highways giving 16-17 km/l at 100km/h Overall value for money
Bought the Kia Sonet, Regret the Decision. I bought the Kia Sonet expecting a comfortable and tech-friendly car, but honestly, it hasn’t lived up to the hype. The first and biggest issue is comfort. The suspension is quite stiff, and you feel almost every bump on bad roads. City driving itself becomes tiring, and long drives are even worse. The seats look premium but lack proper cushioning, especially for the thighs. Rear seat comfort is poor, and three adults at the back feel cramped very quickly. The ADAS features were another major disappointment. On paper, they sound impressive, but in real Indian traffic conditions, they don’t work smoothly. Sometimes the warnings are too sensitive and annoying, and other times they fail to react when you actually expect them to. Instead of feeling safer, it often feels distracting and unreliable. Road noise and engine noise are clearly noticeable at higher speeds, which ruins the driving experience. For a car priced in the premium compact SUV segment, this level of refinement is not acceptable. Overall, Kia Sonet feels more focused on looks and features than real comfort and usability. I expected much better value for the price paid and wouldn’t recommend it to someone who prioritizes comfort and practical safety features.
Amazing suspension. Cons: 1. The only major problem I faced was that the Apple CarPlay stopped working. 2. Average 12-13kmpl with mixed driving conditions 3. The music system is average for this variant Pros: 1. Amazing suspension 2. Good power 3. Really good sound insulation 4. Fantastic cabin 5. Really good handling 6. Good boot space
Pankaj Review. Car comfort is okay but we can improve mileage. Safety is good performance, beautiful especially I love this car sonet is my favourite one, sound system can improve there in this car, this sound is like not good htk plus is very good car especially it's alloy wheels and boot space, door handle, start stop button, sunroof I love this car.
Value for money product.. Bought the gravity diesel edition. Great engine and its fuel economy is 22 currently with 700km running. The interiors of the vehicle are very nice. Best in it's its range so far. Engine performance is great. Very smooth driving experience with a diesel engine of SONET. The same engine is being used with Creta and Seltos as well. It's the most value-for-money model so far. The seats are good. Suspension is very fine. You may travel long distances without any tiredness.
Style & Features. I shortllisted the kia sonet for its stylish design & feature packed interior, and the buying experiense was smooth and the car stands out in its segment. Great looks, premium interior, smooth engine, silent cabin, overall performance is solid with comfortable drive. Rear seat space is bit tight, and milage in city could be better.
