Persistent Gear Noise and Unresolved Transmission Issues Post-Clutch Repair. I have the iMT variant, and it was fantastic for the first three years. However, after almost four years of driving and nearly 40k km on the odometer, the car has started giving me trouble. The clutch cylinder failed and had to be replaced recently. ​Ever since that repair, the car makes a weird noise in 2nd and 3rd gear. Sometimes it makes a distinct rattling sound when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. I’ve taken it to the dealer 3 or 4 times, but they haven't been able to solve the issue. As usual, they just run a diagnostic scan, find no error codes, and do nothing else. I’m still trying to find a solution to get this resolved.

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

Owner review with 50000 KMs. Car is generally good, bad in terms of city mileage, parts availability is a big issue. Feature loaded for the segment. I personally own HTX iMT variant, since it is clutchless, city driving experience is really good, for traffic.

Performance that beats estimates. Have been using this for the last 3 years and drove over 40000 kms, including multiple long rides. The best thing about this car is its performance and comfort during long drives. Features are totally value for money, and the service experience is good too, coming from a previous Maruti owner. I have got mileage higher than ARAI mileage in this car and have got 18-19 with ac on, long rides too, at an average speed of 70-80.

Overall Review Of Kia Sonet Based On Real Time Exp. On highway, it will give around 19 kmpl mileage and in city it gives 13-14 and then performance is very good and coming to dpf filter, it will get hectic headache to the customers if you drive in cities frequently. It will get the dpf filter issue, then maintenance is somewhat expensive and the features are very nice and relaxed.

Kia Sonet Performance. The kia Sonet is impressive and compact suv that stands out with modern design and features. It delivers a good mileage if 18.5 lit on long drives. The engine is smooth and refined with very low noise levels. The breaking performance is not entirely up to expectations and this is an area where improvement would make the vehicle even better. Overall kia Sonet is a great combination of style, performance and comfort especially suited for long drives with a note of caution on breaking and high-speed handling.

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.

Turbo Thrills, But Your Back Might Disagree. This car is a head-turner with a turbocharged engine that delivers serious performance. Acceleration is smooth, power delivery is punchy, and it feels alive on the highway. The design? Sharp, stylish, and modern—definitely a visual win. But once you settle into the driver's seat, reality hits. - Mileage is a mixed bag. In city traffic, expect a modest 10–11 km/l, which feels underwhelming for daily use. On highways, it redeems itself slightly with 16–18 km/l, but still not class-leading. - Comfort is where things really fall apart. The suspension is rock solid—literally. Even small potholes feel like you're being punished for driving. It’s not just stiff; it’s borderline brutal. You’ll feel every bump like the car’s falling apart beneath you, and your spine might file a complaint. Final Take: If you crave power and style and don’t mind sacrificing comfort and fuel efficiency, this car might be your match. But for Kochi’s unpredictable roads and daily commutes, it’s a rough ride—physically and financially.

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.

Fun to drive and comfortable. I've owned the Kia Sonet for several months, and it's been a great experience overall. The car looks stylish, feels premium inside, and comes loaded with features. The engine is smooth, fuel efficiency is good, and it's very easy to drive in city traffic. The infotainment system and comfort features make every journey enjoyable.
