On-Road Score

In 2021, we were in search for new beast to be added in the family. The requirements were simple ( Black Diesel Automatic Car with Sunroof within 12-13 lakhs). We started the market research and found our love which was just launched . KIA Sonet HTX Diesel AT. The beast , till date I don't think there is a better car under 13 lakhs with the features and engine that the Sonet provides. Rich interiors with all the required features , it was a complete package for us. The pickup is unmatchable which gives goosebumps once you give it a full throttle. There is no single day when I don't turn back to see my car after parking it. 3 years completed with 73000 kms with couple of Modifications. I have driven the car on steep hills and it has never let me down and very stable on highways. I feel like the car you drive or how you maintain your car is a reflection of the kind of person you are. Happy Driving folks!

The Wild is Here! As a car enthusiast, speed had always thrilled me & SUV that balances my style with best features, and killer performance - my Kia Sonet. It's wild by design and packed with features that cater to both a family car and a wild machine. My daily drive from Delhi to Gurgaon was a nightmare, but thanks to the 1.0L DCT engine that truly delivers. It’s smooth and it's quick shift (again best in segment) ready to unleash its wild side the moment you push the pedal. It’s a versatile beast. Whether I make it scream or a fuel-efficient ride, it's effortless. Mileage wise, Summers 12-14 kmpl in the city and 14-17 kmpl on highways. In Winters, upto 17 kmpl in the city and up to 20 kmpl on highways. Feature-wise, it’s a power-packed delight: Decent speakers, wireless Apple CarPlay, Sunroof, auto ignition off, three drive & traction modes, and the largest boot in its segment. And the black color completes the wild persona. Every drive feel like a hunt on the open road.

"I'm absolutely loving my Kia Sonet! It's been an incredible experience in every way – performance, comfort, features, and fuel efficiency. The design is sleek and stylish, and the driving experience is smooth and enjoyable. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with my Kia Sonet and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable and feature-packed vehicle."

Among all the cars on sale in India, my personal favourite is the Kia Sonet Not just because I currently own one, but because it strikes a perfect balance between practicality, style, and driving pleasure. What I love most about the Sonet is how well it adapts to both city commutes and long road trips. It is compact eNough to handle Bangalore's traffic, yet spacious and comfortable for extended journeys. The diesel engine offers great mileage and torque, which has been a blessing on my South India circuit road trip. The infotainment system, ventilated seats, and overall cabin quality make every drive enjoyable. But beyond features, it is the emotional connection that matters. The Sonet has been my companion on countless adventures, and every trip has deepened my appreciation for its reliability and versatility. It is a car that makes me look forward to the next drive and that, to me, is the true mark of a favourite.
