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.

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.

I own a KIA Sonet GT line and I bought it in a used market. I have driven about 30k Kms in a couple of years travelling everywhere possible where I couldn't take a flight. It has served me so good. All the features I need are in the car, No trouble driving in traffic (iMT - Please do Not judge, lol) takes every terrain like butter, ventilated seats are the best. I have driven about 1k kms in a stretch and all I needed was a couple of chais to feel good again. No stress, No pain (drove a manual i10 before this). So, I'd say this has become my pet and planning to keep this running for at least the next 5-7 years.

My favourite car would be the Kia Sonet. It might not be the biggest or the most expensive SUV out there, but it just feels like the perfect all-rounder for someone like me. The design is sharp and modern and it has that strong road presence without being too flashy or over the top. The Kia Sonet has a very well laid interior, power packed with features like a nice big touchscreen, ventilated seats, and the way the cabin is laid out. It gives you a very premium feel for a lesser price. It offers good engines like the 1.0L Turbo DCT and the 1.5L Diesel AT. They offer good driving experience and make it fun to drive. Overall, it is a car that makes sense to the Indian driving scenario.

The Kia Sonet is playful and practical and it hits roughly 14–15 kmpl for me. Great speakers and a neat touchscreen. Third-party accessory fitments felt hit-or-miss, but otherwise it’s a lively, compact SUV for town life.

I've been driving the Kia Sonet for a while now, and overall, I'm quite satisfied with its performance. The design is sleek, and the features are impressive, especially the infotainment system. The ride is smooth, and it's perfect for city driving. However, there are a couple of areas where it falls short. The engine could be more powerful, especially when merging onto highways or climbing steep hills. It feels a bit underpowered, which can be frustrating at times. Another area for improvement is the headlights. While they're decent for city driving, they're not powerful enough for high-speed driving at night. It can be challenging to see the road ahead, especially on poorly lit highways. Despite these drawbacks, the Kia Sonet remains a great option for those looking for a stylish and feature-packed vehicle. With a few tweaks to the engine and headlights, it would be a top contender in its class.

Kia Sonet mostly because of Kia as brand is my favorite for its service and maturity in car sales. They have wowed me in engine-gearbox aspect, there fit and finish and customer service experience.

From the outside, the Kia Sonet looks sharp and stylish, inside the cabin feels premium for the price. The drive is smooth, features are plenty, and the mileage stays decent in city use. A solid family compact SUV.

I am a great fan of Kia sonet for its looks. The performance is Not that bad. Their service is top class when compared to the peers who operate in that segment. IMT is brilliant for someone like me who wants to drive a manual gear vehicle but hates engaging clutch.

The one that i drive currently.....Kia Sonet 1.0 L GTX Plus Turbo 2025 Love how complete this package is (the only two things i wish it had was softer suspension and lower NVH). For someone on budget, this is the best car to have instead of going for a bigger car

I like my kia sonet! It's a pocket rocket for me but the dpf (diesel particular filter) is a royal pain
