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.
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!

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 Sonet diesel A/T is praised for its reliable engine, good NVH levels, and effective air conditioning. Users appreciate the interior quality and service experience, especially with the free maintenance pack. However, concerns arise regarding the hard suspension, poor seat comfort, and inadequate headlights. Fuel economy varies, with better performance on highways. Resale value is notably low, and the sunroof feature is viewed as unnecessary in hot climates. Overall, it's recommended for small families and self-drivers.
