<p>Yes, the huge grille with L shaped LED DRLs and the sleek projector headlights really give it a good stance on the Indian roads. The chrome elements on either side of the grill along with the chrome present on the fog light housing gives it a nice touch. </p>

<p>Comparing on the side profile then it is the Ka Sonet which looks better with its slightly wider alloy wheels. Both the SUVs receive dual tone treatment for the alloys but the one present in Magnite caught our eye. Both the SUVs receive faux skid plate at the rear for a sportier look. But then again it is the new kid Magnite which wins the point for refreshed looks. </p>



<p><strong>Engine Options</strong></p>

New 2020 Nissan Magnite vs Kia Sonet vs Tata Nexon vs Hyundai Venue vs Mahindra XUV300 vs Ford EcoSport vs Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza - The Ultimate Spec Comparo!

<p>Ever since its launch, Kia Sonet is giving a tough competition to the other SUVs in sales. And why not as it offers more features, better safety equipment and even better fuel-efficient engines. However, this article is not an appreciation post for the Sonet but rather an unusual one of what we post on our website. Here is a video of the Kia Sonet vs Ford Ecosport diesel engaged in a drag race and wait to see who's the boss. </p>



<p>Before we go any further and share light on the Kia Sonet vs Ford Ecosport diesel drag race, make sure you are a member of our <strong><a href="https://t.me/joinchat/VgWABBkUASe-iAiMajaRRg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="exclusive 91Wheels Telegram (opens in a new tab)">exclusive 91Wheels Telegram</a></strong> group where we share the latest information about the Indian Automotive Industry. </p>

<p>The first round of this drag race is from a rolling speed of 20 km/h whereas you can see Ecosport takes a leap in the end. For the first few seconds, both the SUVs stick against each other before the Ecosport gushes the Sonet. This proves that the mid-range of the Ecosport is better than Sonet. </p>

<p>The second round is from a standstill and here Kia Sonet proves out to be the winner. The Sonet also dominates the third round, but then because of a mild hindrance of an unwanted car, the compact SUV has to stop.

Kia My Convenience Aftersales Initiative Launched - Check All Details Here!

<p>Kia Motors India witnessed an amazing start in the Indian market with the success of the Seltos. Kia Motors India became the first carmaker in India to cross 1,00,000 sales mark in less than a year. The Kia Sonet, which is based on the Hyundai Venue, took the market by storm and became one of the most selling sub-compact SUVs. After driving the Kia Sonet extensively in the NCR region, we share with you the pros and cons of the Sonet and does it justify its premium price tag.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sonet_Tracking-47.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20921"/><figcaption><strong>Kia Sonet Pros and Cons </strong></figcaption></figure>



<h2><strong>Pros:</strong></h2>



<h4><strong>Frugal and Diversified Powertrains </strong></h4>



<p>The Kia Sonet comes with a diversified range of powertrains and all the engines are frugal. The base 1.2-litre petrol is for the buyers who are looking for value and practicality. The base engine comes only with a 5-speed manual whereas other engines come with gearbox options. The 1.0-litre turbo petrol offers great performance along with fuel efficiency and Kia has paired it with 6-speed iMT and 7-speed DCT. The last one is the 1.5-litre diesel engine which comes with a 6-speed manual and 6-speed AT.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-3-1.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Pros and Cons" class="wp-image-19448"/></figure>



<h4><strong>Good Boot Space and Ground Clearance</strong></h4>



<p>Kia Sonet is based on the construction of the Hyundai Venue and even shares the powertrains. However, Kia has somehow managed to increase the height, ground clearance and boot space of the Sonet. Kia Sonet offers a boot space of 392 litres and ground clearance of 205mm. The height of the Kia Sonet is also considerably more than that of the Venue which lends it a better SUV appeal.</p>

<h4><strong>Loads of Features </strong></h4>



<p>The Kia Sonet comes with a ton of features and brings in a lot of them straight from the Seltos. The 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment of the Sonet is the biggest in the segment. Moreover, we get features like electric sunroof, wireless charging with cooling, ventilated seats, smart air purifier, cruise control, multi-functional steering wheel, rear AC vents, BOSE sound system and a lot more. The Sonet is undoubtedly the most equipped car in its segment.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20218"/></figure>



<h4><strong>Affordable Diesel AT </strong></h4>



<p>The Kia Sonet is the only subcompact SUV in India to offer a proper diesel automatic option. The powertrain is carried over from the Seltos which is now offered in other Hyundai cars as well. The diesel engine puts out 115PS and 250 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed true automatic gearbox. Though the GTX Plus diesel AT is expensive, it is affordable when you compare it with the competition. The chief rivals of the Sonet are Nexon and XUV300 and both these sub-compact SUVs only offer AMTs. The Sonet on the other hand offers true automatic at not so premium price.</p>



<h2><strong>Cons:</strong></h2>



<h4><strong>Lack of Seating Space</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20219"/></figure>



<p>The Kia Sonet is a great subcompact SUV overall but space quotient is not justified. The Hyundai Venue and the Kia Sonet both lacks the sense of space and the rear legroom is not that impressive either. Given the premium Kia asks for the Sonet, you better shift to the compact SUVs like the Creta or the Seltos if outright space is your priority. Furthermore, the connected instrument cluster and touchscreen bezel takes up a lot of space and hampers the visibility in the smaller Sonet.</p>



<h4><strong>Not so Supple ride</strong></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-Sonet-2-1.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Pros and Cons" class="wp-image-23816"/><figcaption><strong>Kia Sonet Pros and Cons</strong></figcaption></figure>



<p>Kia Sonet is largely different from the Venue despite sharing the underpinnings. Kia has gone for a stiffer suspension setup whereas the Venue gets a comfy one. The bump absorption in the Sonet is not that impressive and you have to get slow over sharp bumps. In turn, the handling of the Sonet is considerably better than that of the Venue. But as comfort is given more priority in the space of sub-compact SUVs, the Sonet lacks in that department.</p>

<h4><strong>Some Glaring Omission of Features</strong></h4>



<p>This may sound confusing as we just called Sonet a very feature-loaded car. However, dig deeper and you will realise that Kia has left some problems unaddressed. For instance, we do not get the option of 60:40 split rear seats, even in the top trims. Moreover, the steering adjustment is only limited to tilt - even the new i20 Magna offers both tilt &amp; telescopic adjustment. Kia could have also added illuminated power window switches and paddle shifters in the auto trims but they didn't.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-5.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Pros and Cons" class="wp-image-21355"/></figure>



<h4><strong>GT Line Priced at a Premium</strong></h4>



<p>The base variants of the Kia Sonet undercuts the Venue by a margin. However, the same can not be said for the top-spec trims - like the GT line. They may turn your head upside down but the Kia Sonet is the most expensive petrol sub-compact SUV on sale. The 1.0-litre iMT GTX+ is more expensive than Ford EcoSport 1.5 AT. Kia could have gone a bit more aggressive in the pricing department given the limited reach sales and service touchpoints. </p>

Kia Sonet Pros and Cons - Does it Justify the Premium Price Tag?

<p>The Nissan Magnite is all set to hit the showrooms soon and has become significantly popular even before its launch. The car is expected to be priced aggressively to give tough competition to its rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Ford Ecosport, Maruti Brezza, Kia Sonet, and the Mahindra XUV300. While the pricing of the vehicle is still not out, we do know all the details about the specs, features, and other small details about the car. Having said that, here is a Nissan Magnite Vs Kia Sonet spec comparison which will help you compare these two products in an effective manner.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Sonet_Tracking-47.jpg" alt="Nissan Magnite Vs Kia Sonet" class="wp-image-20921"/></figure>



<p>The Kia Sonnet gets an aggressive and appealing design language which makes it one of the best and unique cars in terms of looks in the segment. When compared to the Magnite, the Kia Sonet happens to be significantly wider and taller. The length, wheelbase and the ground clearance of both the vehicles remain similar to each other. Having said that, while the Magnite looks radical and unique, the Sonet gets a much more aggressive and a sporty design language. A detailed comparison of the dimensions of the two vehicles is given below:</p>

<p>Unline the Nissan Magnite, the Kia Sonet can be had with a diesel engine. Powering the Nissan Magnite are two different engine options which include a 1.-L naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.0-L Turbo petrol engine. These engines come mated to a 5-speed MT while the turbo petrol can also be had with an optional CVT gearbox. The Kia Sonet on the other hand gets multiple powertrain options.

We gave you examples of alloy wheels and the first wrapped Kia Sonet. This time around we bring you a Kia Sonet which gets its interiors modified and also gets ceramic coating on the exteriors. </p>

<p>On the interiors, the customer has opted for the all-black interior theme with leather upholstery. The lady in the video says that the leather is top-notch and it enhances the overall look of the SUV. Another thing which we like is that the modifiers are taking full responsibility so if anything happens in the future which affects the car's interiors then one can take their car to them only.</p>

<p>Leather treatment is given on the gear knob, steering wheel and seats. The door panels too get leather treatment which gives a premium look to the SUV. The steering wheel is wrapped in a way that it comes from the OEM itself.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-SOnet-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-23852"/></figure>



<p>The interiors of this Sonet looks premium and sophisticated because of the all-black interiors. The only change is the contrast grey coloured stitching on the steering wheel and seats. The modifiers have also given perforation to the seats for an extra bit of comfort. </p>



<p>From the outside, this modified Kia Sonet gets ceramic coating which indeed brings out the true colour of the SUV. Ceramic coating takes more than 3 hours to complete and one must take good care of it afterwards the car gets delivered to the owner.  </p>

<p>The prices of Kia Sonet starts from Rs 6.72 lakh and goes up till Rs 12.99 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. The Sonet is also the most affordable compact SUV in its segment. It rivals with Hyundai Venue, Maruti Brezza, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300 and Toyota Urban Cruiser. </p>

Kia Sonet Interiors Modified With All-Black Scheme - Images

<p>We just saw the unveiling of the Nissan Magnite and here comes Kia Motors India with another milestone. The Kia Sonet - arguably the hottest sub-compact SUV on sale in India right now - has touched the milestone of 50,000 bookings, that too in just 2 months from launch. The pricing of the Sonet was nothing to write home about yet it flourished to the roof. What makes the Kia Sonet special, let's find out.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-Sonet-2-1.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Bookings " class="wp-image-23816"/></figure>



<p>Kia Sonet bags in over 50,000 bookings in just 2 months from the launch date and 60% of the bookers opted for the petrol variants. The 1.2L petrol and 1.0L turbo recorded 60% of the total bookings whereas the rest was for the diesel variants. The Sonet has the most sophisticated diesel automatic option for buyers looking for a premium automatic experience. Having the diesel automatic straight from the Seltos is a big advantage for the Sonet.</p>

<p>Moreover, Kia Sonet also offers a great blend of sportiness and features to lure the buyers. Kia Sonet also brought in some first in segment features like the 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment, ventilated seats, drive and traction modes and a lot more. Kia also tried to capture the talk of the town by calling the smart air purifier with a virus scanner. It surely didn't kill coronavirus but a nifty touch in today's day and age.</p>

Kia Sonet Breaks Another Record - Bags Over 50,000 Bookings in Just 2 Months

<p>Kia Motors India has steamrolled its competition and people already had the trust in KIA. Being a sister brand of Hyundai, buyers didn't have a second thought for the purchase - at least for the ownership experience and service costs. We earlier explained the service costs of Kia Seltos and Kia Carnival and now its time for the Sonet. Kia offers the Sonet with four engine options - 1.5-litre diesel WGT, 1.5-litre diesel VGT, 1.0-litre turbo petrol and 1.2-litre petrol engine. We explain to you the service cost of all the engines offered with the Kia Sonet. </p>

<h4>Kia Sonet Petrol Service Cost - 1.2L and 1.0L Turbo</h4>



<p>Kia Sonet comes with two petrol engine options - 1.2-litre NA petrol and 1.0-litre turbo petrol. While the 1.2-litre is only available with a 5-speed manual in lower trims only, the 1.0-litre turbo petrol is offered in top trims with either a 6-speed iMT or 7-speed DCT. The 1.2-litre petrol engine produces 83PS and 113 Nm of torque whereas the 1.0-litre turbo produces 120PS and 172 Nm of torque.

<p>The service costs mentioned are indicative and expect to change with additional wear and tear. The above service costs also include the cost of wheel alignment and balancing which will be done at Kia's official service dealership. As Kia uses an iMT in place of the normal 6-speed manual transmission, it needs the iMT fluid at regular intervals but it would just cost Rs 56 per top-up.</p>



<h4>Kia Sonet diesel Service Cost </h4>



<p>Kia Sonet is offered with the most fuel-efficient diesel engine in its class. The powerhouse is a 1.5-litre diesel engine which is sold in two tunes - 100PS (WGT) and 115PS (VGT). The 1.5 VGT produces 115PS and 250 Nm of torque, mated with the 6-speed automatic only. The 1.5 WGT produces 100PS and 240 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission only. The 1.5 6AT is the same powertrain we also see in the Creta, Seltos, Verna and Elantra. You can see the service costs of Kia Sonet Diesel in the table below:</p>

<p>The service costs mentioned above are again indicative and expect to change with any additional wear and tear. The wheel alignment costs are included in the cost chart which is scheduled to happen every 10,000 km. The service cost of the Sonet is very affordable and the diesel engine is not expensive to maintain either. The basic servicing includes air filter and engine oil replacement whereas the brake and clutch fluid and fuel filter are changed every 30,000 km and 40,000 km respectively. </p>

Kia Sonet Service Cost of All Engine Options Explained

<p>Kia Sonet was launched a few weeks ago and instantly became one of the top-selling compact SUVs. Its aggressive design and price factor along with the multiple engine options and features makes this a right fit for the Indian market. However, this specific dark edition Kia Sonet receives a tasteful modification and now looks badass. </p>



<p>Before we go any further and explain to you what is the total cost and the list of mods this Kia Sonet Dark Edition gets, make sure you are a member of our <strong><a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/IZpi9fnhu60Ecv3pFLv2Yo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="exclusive 91Wheels Whatsapp (opens in a new tab)">exclusive 91Wheels Whatsapp</a></strong> group where we discuss about the Indian automotive industry and bring to you latest news.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-Sonet-modified.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Dark Edition Image" class="wp-image-23604"/></figure>



<p>This Sonet belongs to <strong><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Mr Akshaya (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/621687715314471/user/1097891012/" target="_blank">Mr Akshaya</a></strong> and sharing more details then it receives a satin black vinyl wrap. Yes, the original Aurora Black Pearl with its metallic nature gives a shiner look but the wrap brings out the original rawness, stealth is the right word we think. </p>

<p>The SUV has been dechromed and sees blacked-out design. To contrast the elements, the body gets finished in the satin black wrap while the elements like the front grille, fog light housing assembly, both front and rear diffuser, roof rails and the area near the rear windshield receives piano black wrap. The alloy wheels also are in piano black finish. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Kia-Sonet.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Dark Edition Image" class="wp-image-23605"/></figure>



<p>For those asking, this is a brand new car and as you can see it does not even have a permanent registration plate. It gets 16-inch aftermarket alloy wheels and they gel well with the compact SUV. In our opinion, this badass Sonet looks good but with a little tint on the taillights would have brought out a more raw design. Overall, we think it is the best looking Sonet to date.</p>

<p>Sharing the cost of the modifications then the total cost comes at Rs 1 lakh but you can contact the shop responsible who did it. Better get in touch with the owner for exact specs and we have given the link above. The aftermarket alloys cost Rs 30,000 and look better with this one. The HTX 1.0L iMT variant of Kia Sonet costs Rs 9.99 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. </p>

2020 Kia Sonet vs Hyundai Venue BS6 - GTX+ vs SX (O); Spec Comparison Of Top Models!

<p>If you look at the recent trends over the past few years, it is the compact SUV segent which is on the ise in the Indian market. Ford started this trend with the Ecosport and now several carmakers are bringing in new products and ruling the market. In this, we will share you the compact SUV sales for September 2020. </p>



<p>The Compact SUV segment comprises of several cars like - Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Mahindra XUV300, Ford Ecosport and the recently launched Kia Sonet. It is the latter which achieved more sales than ita rivals. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td><strong>Brand and Model</strong></td><td><strong>Sales</strong></td></tr><tr><td>Kia Sonet</td><td>9266</td></tr><tr><td>Maruti Brezza</td><td>9153</td></tr><tr><td>Hyundai Venue</td><td>8469</td></tr><tr><td>Tata Nexon</td><td>6007</td></tr><tr><td>Mahindra XUV300</td><td>3700</td></tr><tr><td>Ford Ecosport</td><td>3558</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Now, if you look at the chart above, Kia Sonet directly wins the competition. Yes, the compact SUV was launched on September 18 but the above numbers are dealer dispatched. Also, the Sonet bookings have crossed more than 35,000 which is the highest ever in such a short duration. </p>

<p><strong>Kia Sonet</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-golden.jpg" alt="Compact SUV Sales September 2020 Image" class="wp-image-20850"/><figcaption>Kia Sonet wins the chart of compact SUV sales for September 2020</figcaption></figure>



<p>Kia Sonet gets multiple engine options and top of the line 24-first in segment features. It gets front parking sensors, chrome knurling on front bumpers, air purifier with virus protection, 6-speed AT for the diesel and like this, many other features. </p>



<p><strong>Maruti Brezza</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/92020-maruti-brezza-petrol.jpg" alt="Toyota Urban Cruiser bookings" class="wp-image-17896"/></figure>



<p>Next in line is the old school, squared SUV which is the Maruti Brezza. With its petrol launch, the sales have taken a step back but still, it holds the top 3 positions in the market. It is being offered with a humble 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol engine which churns 103 bhp and 138 Nm of peak torque. The engine gets mated to a 5-speed manual as standard and an optional 4-speed torque converter unit. </p>



<p><strong>Hyundai Venue</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/hyundai-venue-suv-3-1.jpg" alt="Compact SUV Sales September 2020 Image" class="wp-image-19033"/></figure>



<p>Hyundai Venue is Sonet's cousin as they both share the same platform and powertrain. The only difference is the exclusion of 1.5L diesel with 6-speed AT. The Venue is the most sensible buy if you are looking for an SUV with unique features, good engine and which is readily available. Its prices start from Rs 6.75 lakh and go up till Rs 11.73 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. </p>

<p><strong>Tata Nexon</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/tata-nexon-sunroof.jpeg" alt="Compact SUV Sales September 2020 Image" class="wp-image-20469"/></figure>



<p>Tata Nexon is the second safest compact SUV in the segment which offers Global NCAP rating of 5 stars. It is also one of the most affordable SUVs to offer an electric sunroof. It gets a 1.2L turbo petrol and a 1.5L turbo diesel engine. The prices for this stick between a bracket of Rs 7.01 lakh and Rs 12.74 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. Tata offers as many as 36 variants to choose from for the Nexon. </p>



<p><strong>Mahindra XUV300</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/1_0002_Gallery4-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-12013"/></figure>



<p>The XUV300 is the most underrated and yet the safest SUV in its segment. It offers all-four disc brakes which no other vehicle offers. The prices for the same starts from Rs 7.95 lakh and go up till Rs 12.70 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. </p>



<p><strong>Ford Ecosport </strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Ford-Ecosport-First-Look-Review.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19571"/></figure>



<p>Ford started the trend with the Ecosport and now it retains the last position. Ford is the no-nonsense SUV in this segment offering good build quality, powerful diesel engine and value for money offering. But due to its lack of features, the SUV doesn't sell well. It did only 3558 units for last month. </p>

Compact SUV Sales For September 2020: Kia Sonet Wins Already

<p>Kia Motors India has broken another record with an amazing sales milestone. The Seltos has broken many sales records before but its the Sonet which now has become the most selling sub-compact SUV in India. Kia has sold over 9266 units of the Sonet in just 12 days after the launch. The sales of Kia Sonet is the highest in the month of September over all the other sub-compact SUVs. Kia Sonet impressed a lot of buyers with its striking looks and a long list of features.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Premiere-2.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet sales " class="wp-image-18614"/></figure>



<p>Kia launched the Sonet in India on 18th September and it recorded over 25000 bookings till the launch. After the price reveal, Kia records over 9266 sales of the Sonet within 12 days from launch. Kia Sonet makes its entry in the top 10 sales list by demolishing the sales of the Venue and likes. Not only that, but the Kia Seltos has also recorded 9079 unit sales in September 2020. Including the Carnival, the September 2020 sales of Kia India stood at 18,676 units.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-21355"/></figure>



<p>Most of the buyers who booked the Kia Sonet went for the GTX+ trims and the 1.0-litre T-GDI motor is in high demand. The 1.0-litre T-GDI motor produces 120 PS and 172 Nm of torque. Interestingly, Kia only offers the Sonet with 6-speed clutchless manual transmission and 7-speed DCT. On the other hand, its cousin - the Venue also offers the conventional 6-speed manual transmission. The Sonet also has two other engines in its arsenal - 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine. The 1.5-litre diesel engine is offered with 6-speed manual and 6-speed AT. Moreover, the diesel AT gets a VGT and produces 115PS and 250 Nm of torque.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet sales " class="wp-image-20218"/></figure>



<p>Kia Motors India is having a good time this year by breaking one record after the other. The Sonet, although priced higher over the competition, enjoys great interest among buyers thanks to its long list of features. However, we have seen that the sales figures of any car just after the launch are much higher than the regular sales figures. In typical fashion, the Sonet may also get fewer sales in the coming months if not the immediate next months. </p>

Kia Sonet Bags 9266 Unit Sales in 12 Days - Marks in Top 10 Sales

<p>Kia Motors India recently launched the Kia Sonet and it offered a lot of features unseen in the sub-compact SUV segment. Good features come at a steep price and that made the overall deal a little sour for the Sonet. As the GTX+ AT and DCT prices are also revealed, the Sonet inches into the category of the Seltos. Kia Sonet is great in many ways but space is not one of them. If you want a family SUV at a budget of Rs 16 lakh, which one is a deal for you? We find just that in the Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Kia Seltos HTK+ spec comparison. </p>



<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Design and Dimensions</h4>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-3-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19448"/></figure>



<p>We don't think anyone would disagree that the Sonet is one of best-looking cars of its segment if not the best. The signature Tiger nose grille and all-LED headlights have worked for the Sonet to make it look stunning. Some may call the rear a little "busy" or "overdone" but it doesn't look odd by any means. The alloy wheels on the GT line - the one we are comparing - looks great and suits the design of the car.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/06-d.png" alt="Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ images" class="wp-image-21768"/></figure>



<p>The Kia Seltos is the most stunning looking SUV of its segment and it is only of the many reasons for its success. The connected LED DRLs at the front atop the Tiger nose grille give it a premium car appeal and the GT line is the best looker. However, the HT line of the Seltos may get projector headlamps and plain alloy wheels but it doesn't look under-equipped.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Dimensions</td><td>Sonet</td><td>Seltos</td></tr><tr><td>Length</td><td>3995mm</td><td>4315mm</td></tr><tr><td>Width</td><td>1790mm</td><td>1800mm</td></tr><tr><td>Height</td><td>1642mm</td><td>1645mm</td></tr><tr><td>Wheelbase</td><td>2500mm</td><td>2610mm</td></tr><tr><td>Boot space</td><td>392L</td><td>433L</td></tr><tr><td>Fuel tank </td><td>45L</td><td>50L</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/kia-sonet-5.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-21355"/></figure>



<p>With the table in place, it is obvious that the Seltos sports considerably bigger dimensions than the Sonet. While the width and height are more or less similar of both the cars, the Seltos excels in terms of length, wheelbase and boot space. Surprisingly, despite being smaller, the Sonet offers good width and height when compared to the Seltos.</p>

<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Interiors and Features</h4>



<p>Kia Sonet is a sub-compact SUV and at that price, you can't expect premium interiors. There are no soft touch materials used on the dashboard, however, we do get leather-wrapped elbow rests. The dashboard layout of the Kia Sonet is good and practical but the connected 10.25-inch touchscreen and instrument console may seem big to many customers. Moving to the features, the Sonet comes loaded with some great features like drive/traction modes, ventilated seats, automatic climate control, sound mood lighting, six airbags, TPMS, BOSE sound system and a lot more.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19449"/></figure>



<p>Coming to the Kia Seltos, as it is a bigger car, gets a bigger cabin space. The dashboard also gets leather wrapped but only in top trims. The HTK+ gets the plastic finish but that feels premium too. However, as the HTK+ is a lower trim, it misses out on automatic climate control, LED headlights, sound mood lighting, rear adjustable headrests, electric sunroof and a lot more. We get 8.0-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple Car Play, cruise control, keyless entry and go, R16 alloy wheels, rear sunblinds, height adjustable seatbelts and a lot more.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Seltos-1.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ images" class="wp-image-19353"/><figcaption>Image for representation purpose only</figcaption></figure>



<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Engine and Performance</h4>



<p>Both the Kia Sonet and Kia Seltos offer an array of powertrain options. However, the Sonet takes the level a notch above by offering iMT transmission. As we are comparing the top spec GTX+ of the Sonet to the HTK+ of the Seltos, the only fair comparison between both the cars is 1.5-litre diesel MT/AT. The Sonet gets the same engine in two states of tune - 100 PS MT (WGT) and 115 PS AT (VGT).</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-4-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-19453"/></figure>



<p>If you go with diesel manual, the Seltos offers 15 PS more power and 10 Nm more torque. However, as the diesel AT combo is same in both the cars, we get 155PS and 250 Nm in Sonet is well. The Sonet may return more fuel efficiency as it is lighter and the service and reliability will be more or less the same.</p>

<h4>Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Seltos HTK+ - Price and Verdict</h4>



<p>The Kia Sonet is a feature-packed and Kia hasn't left any stone unturned to make it a success. However, the Kia Sonet is priced at a premium and comes at Rs 1-1.5 lakh premium over its rivals. The price is the only caveat for the Sonet and the size and space it offers at this price is not easily justifiable. That's where the Seltos comes into the picture, the Seltos is a much bigger car with better ride quality and space. With around 70,000 - 80,000 premium, you can get the Seltos HTK+ which may offer less in terms of features but offers a one-segment above experience and mainly the space and comfort.</p>

<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class=""><tbody><tr><td>Model</td><td>Diesel MT</td><td>Diesel AT</td></tr><tr><td>Kia Sonet GTX+</td><td>11.99 lakh</td><td>12.89 lakh</td></tr><tr><td>Kia Seltos HTK+</td><td>12.69 lakh</td><td>13.69 lakh</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

Kia Sonet GTX+ Vs Kia Seltos HTK+ - Which One To Buy?

<p>Kia Motors India launched only the mid-spec AT variants of the Sonet on the launch day. We call it a smart move of the brand to keep the interest of buyers intact by keeping the prices of top variants behind the curtains. As the launch has happened and the response has been positive, Kia has launched the Sonet GTX+ diesel AT and petrol DCT and both the variants are priced at Rs 12.89 lakh ex-showroom.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-3.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-18616"/></figure>



<p>A few days ago, we told you the expected price for the GTX+ Diesel AT - 12.89 lakh and petrol DCT -12.99 lakh ex-showroom. The price of the GTX+ Diesel AT are the same we assumed but Kia has played safe and launched the Sonet Petrol DCT and Diesel AT at the same price. The Kia Sonet range starts from Rs 6.71 lakh and ends up at Rs 12.89 lakh. The gap between both price ends is a lot but also respective given the sheer amount of features the Sonet offers.</p>

<p>Moreover, now the Kia Sonet AT and DCT are available in two trim levels - HTK+ and GTX+. The HTK+ diesel AT is priced at Rs 10.39 lakh and the HTK+ Petrol DCT is priced at Rs 10.49 lakh ex-showroom. The HTK+ variants are fairly loaded but lack the drool-worthy features like keyless entry and go, alloy wheels, electric sunroof, ventilated seats and more. The top-spec GTX+ automatic trims of the Sonet are the most expensive in the entire sub-compact SUV segment. In addition to that, the Sonet GTX+ iMT is more expensive than the Ford EcoSport 1.5 AT.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20218"/></figure>

<p>To justify the steep price tag, Kia Sonet has the biggest 10.25-inch touchscreen, sound mood lighting, drive and traction modes, ventilated seats, electric sunroof, rain-sensing wipers and a lot more. Some features are missing on the even higher segment of cars. If you are looking for price to size ratio, the Sonet isn't the car for you. You can get the Renault Duster turbo petrol and still save some money for feature upgrades. But if you want the best technology available in the market in one package, the Sonet is a no brainer. </p>

Kia Sonet GTX+ Diesel AT and Petrol DCT Launched - Priced At Rs 12.89 Lakh

<p>The Kia Sonet became the third product to be launched in the brand's portfolio and is offered with three different engine options. The car, with its aggressive and bold design language impressed each one of at the time of its global unveil at the Auto Expo 2020. Sonet is priced from Rs 6.71 lakh (ex-showroom) as a part of the introductory scheme and gets a number of powertrain options. However, to everyone's surprise, Kia did not over a manual gearbox with the 1.0-L turbocharged petrol engine at the time of the launch. As per the recent reports that featured online, the management is now planning to launch the Kia Sonet 1.0-L Petrol Turbo Manual soon if market demand necessitates it. Read on to check out all the details.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-3.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet 1.0-L Petrol Turbo Manual" class="wp-image-20217"/></figure>



<p>Unlike the Hyundai Venue, the Kia Sonet 1.0-L turbo variant is available only with a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. The clutchless iMT gearbox is one of the most advanced gearboxes that we have in the market right now. At present, the most affordable Sonet 1.0 Turbo variant is the HTK+ iMT variant that is priced from Rs 9.49 lakh. On the other hand, the entry-level turbo iMT variant of the Venue, which is the SX, is priced at Rs 10 lakh while the lower-spec Venue 1.0L Turbo S with 6-speed manual gearbox is priced at Rs 8.51 lakh only (ex-showroom). We can expect the upcoming Kia Sonet 1.0-L Petrol Turbo Manual variant to be priced at around Rs 20,000 less than the equivalent iMT model.  </p>

Kia Sonet Accessories Price List Revealed - Check Out All The Details

<p>Hyundai Venue is a very popular compact-SUV in the Indian market. The Venue was launched in April 2019 and till date, more than one lakh Venue SUVs have already been sold in the Indian market. Just a few weeks ago, the company also launched the Sport Trim of the Venue and it also became the first car in India to get iMT or Intelligent Manual Transmission. We all know Kia and Hyundai have a lot of things in common as they fall under the same umbrella. So, will the Hyundai Venue get a Diesel Automatic version soon?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/hyundai-venue-suv-3-1.jpg" alt="hyundai venue review" class="wp-image-19033"/></figure>



<p>Recently, the Kia Sonet sub-compact SUV was launched in the Indian market and just like all other Hyundai-Kia cars, the Venue and the Sonet also have a lot of things in common. Both these sub-4-metre compact SUVs are based on the same platform, they get the same powerplant and have similar features too. However, there are some differences. The Sonet is more feature-loaded and a bit more pricey too. Also, when it comes to the engine and gearbox combination, both these sub-compact SUVs have differentiating factors.</p>



<p>Talking about powertrains, both of them get a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine that develops 83 PS of power and 115 Nm of torque. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox only. The next engine option is a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit. This 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor churns out 100 PS of power and 172 Nm of torque. In Venue, this 1.0-litre turbo petrol motor comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox, a 7-speed DCT and a 6-speed iMT. However, the Sonet gets a 6-speed iMT and a 7-speed DCT only.</p>

<p>Further, when it comes to the diesel engine, both these compact SUVs get a 1.5-litre oil-burner. This 1.5-litre diesel engine with WGT or Waste Gas Turbocharger churns out 100 PS of power and 240 Nm of peak torque. This mill comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. At present, in the Venue, we don't have a choice of an automatic transmission but the Sonet gets it. The Kia Sonet gets the same 1.5-litre diesel engine but with VGT or Variable Geometry Turbocharger that churns out 115 PS of power and 250 Nm of peak torque. It comes mated to a segment-first 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.     </p>



<p>As we all know, these sister-concern South Korean car manufacturers share everything. So, it is highly probable that this 1.5-litre diesel engine with VGT and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission will make its debut in the Hyundai Venue very soon. Hyundai might launch this engine &amp; gearbox combination with the Venue to lure more buyers and to boost its sales even further. We believe Hyundai will launch the Diesel Automatic version of the Venue around the festive season or by the end of this year. </p>

<p>The Diesel Automatic version will demand around one lakh premium over the Diesel Manual variants. Currently, the Hyundai Venue is priced between Rs. 6.75 lakhs - Rs. 11.57 lakhs while the Kia Sonet retails between Rs. 6.71 lakhs - Rs. 11.99 lakhs. All prices stick to Ex-showroom Delhi.

Hyundai Venue To Get Diesel Automatic Version Soon?

<p>Buy an automatic, it'll save your energy in traffic. No, but the manual gives you driving pleasure and more fuel economy too. Hey, what about the new iMT? What's that? Well, you get your conventional H-Gear but without a clutch. So a clutch free vehicle but with a 6-speed manual unit? Yes, that's what we thought when Kia launched the Sonet. In this first look review of the Kia Sonet, we will share with you how the iMT variant drives in the city. </p>



<h5><strong>Exteriors </strong></h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.17.jpeg" alt="Kia Sonet iMT First Look Review Image" class="wp-image-21232"/></figure>



<p>Kia made its debut with the Seltos last year and till date, it has sold over 1 lakh unit. Yes, that's how big its success was. Then came the Carnival and just a few days ago, Kia launched the Sonet which debuts in the sub-compact SUV department. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.19.jpeg" alt="Kia Sonet iMT First Look Review Image" class="wp-image-21233"/></figure>



<p>As far as its design goes, it looks fresh and agile. Yes, the tiger-nose grille, all-LED headlights or the chrome knurling at the front grille. The car looks good from all angles. You get a reflector strip at the rear which connects with the taillights. Also, the front and rear skid plates give the SUV a sporty appeal. </p>

<p><strong>Interiors and Design</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.18.jpeg" alt="Kia Sonet iMT First Look Review Image" class="wp-image-21234"/></figure>



<p>Step inside and you will notice a big touchscreen infotainment system. This is a 10.25-inch with Apple CarPlay as well as Android Auto. It also gets signature connected car technology also known as the UVO. The beige and black interiors of the tech line give a premium look, however, it is the GT line trim which stands out with the interior design. Kia gives an all-black interior with contrast red stitching. </p>



<p>I found the centre console a bit cluttered than its competition. No doubt, the cabin feels nice and tech-friendly but then the design could have been less tacky. At the front, the space is good for both driver and co-driver and comes with ventilated seats which are a good addition in the segment. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.21.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21235"/></figure>



<p>However, the same cannot be said about the rear as the Sonet can only seat 4 people comfortably. Bring on an additional one and you'll begin to feel claustrophobic. But a compromise in the cabin inside turned out well for the boot as it is massive in its segment. A 392 litres boot space for all your weekend road trips. </p>



<h5><strong>Engine and Performance </strong></h5>



<p>I drove the 1.0-litre turbo petrol the Kia Sonet with an iMT gearbox. This motor churns out 117 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque. The not so new-age gearbox felt nice when I drove and did not lag like an AMT. However, it wasn't as exciting as the AT either but it did the job pretty well in the traffic. What I liked was the quick acceleration and the response from the gearbox.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.14.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21236"/></figure>



<p>An instance happened where I was driving the Sonet at 60 km/h at 6th gear. Upon braking as I was approaching the traffic, the speed fell down and I thought to myself that whether the car will continue to drive at 6th gear in speeds of 20km/h. And I was surprised to see how smart the system is and the speedometer console asked me to downshift to 2nd gear. That's how wonderful the iMT is. Same goes for when you are accelerating hard and you will have to change the gear according to the speed else you will just harm the engine and the gearbox. </p>

<h5><strong>Driving Dynamic </strong></h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/WhatsApp-Image-2020-09-20-at-21.16.11.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-21237"/><figcaption>Kia Sonet First Look Review - This Is How The iMT Drives</figcaption></figure>



<p>Well, like the engine and its gearbox the same cannot be said for the dynamics of the vehicle. Being an SUV, I am aware of the body roll it has to offer but I experienced a lot more than its rivals. The car performs well in city traffic when you are driving on a light foot. However, things change when you are making a sharp turn or approaching a roundabout at a higher speed. Then I felt that Sonet really comes with loads of body roll. </p>



<h5><strong>Features </strong></h5>

<p>Kia offers 24 first in segment features for the Sonet which accounts up to wireless phone projection, ventilated seats, front parking sensors, OTA updates, bose sound system, traction modes, wake up command and several other features. Watch the video above as to what are some interesting features the Sonet gets. </p></p>



<h5><strong>Prices and its competition </strong></h5>

<p>Kia has played well with the pricing factory and it starts from Rs 6.71 lakh and go up till Rs 11.99 lakh. Well, the top of the line GTX with AT gearbox is yet to be launched. All the prices stick to ex-showroom, Delhi. The Sonet rivals with Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Ford Ecosport, Maruti Brezza and Mahindra XUV300. </p>

<p>The Kia Sonet and the Hyundai Venue get the same powerplant. Both these compact-SUVs are powered by a BS6-compliant 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated mill and a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit.

Kia Sonet vs Nexon vs Venue vs XUV300 vs EcoSport vs Vitara Brezza - Specs and Price Comparison

<p>Kia Sonet is one of the most anticipated compact SUVs in the Indian market and its launch is slated for September 18, 2020. It gets three engine options but it surpasses the other rivals in terms of features. Yes, Kia claims that the upcoming Sonet gets 24 first in segment features. So what are those features - is it useful or just overhyped? We will share all their details now</p>



<h5><strong>Front Ventilated Seats </strong></h5>



<p>This feature works well in areas where the temperature reaches up to 50 degrees. The automatic climate control cools down the cabin while the front ventilated seats help in bringing down your sweat level. This is really a useful feature in new cars.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://youtu.be/ulkpsvdzYw4
</div></figure>



<h5><strong>Diesel AT </strong></h5>



<p>It is the first compact SUV to come with fully automatic diesel gearbox. It uses a 6-speed AT unit which is paired to a 1.5-litre turbocharged diesel engine. This engine makes 113 bhp with a peak torque of 250 Nm. The certified ARAI mileage sticks to 19 km/l. </p>

<h5><strong>Largest touchscreen system </strong></h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Kia-Sonet-Unveiled-2.jpg" alt="Kia Sonet Features" class="wp-image-20218"/><figcaption>Kia Sonet Features</figcaption></figure>



<p>Yes, the 10.25-inch head unit with touch is the largest in its segment and it comes with modern technology features like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The bigger touchscreen keeps the level of premiumness of the SUV at top. </p>



<h5><strong>Bose sound system </strong></h5>



<p>No other car in this segment offers Bose sound system and that too in this price bracket. It gets a BOSE 7-speaker system which is good in clarity and base. Now you do not have to worry about good sound quality when you are on road trips. </p>



<h5><strong>4.2 colour cluster </strong></h5>



<p>This colour cluster is present on the instrument cluster which gives you several information like turn by turn navigation, front and rear parking sensor display and mode select display. </p>



<h5><strong>LED Sound mood light</strong></h5>



<p>Kia Sonet gets equipped with ambient lighting which changes according to the beat and mood set from the infotainment screen. You get to choose from several colours and also opt for the multi-colour mood lighting. This is just a gimmick which we have seen in premium luxury cars. </p>



<h5><strong>OTA Updates</strong></h5>



<p>Basically, over the air updates allows you to update the map at any location. This not only saves your time but also your money when you go to the dealership for any upgradation. With good WiFi strength, the maps can be updated automatically. </p>



<h5><strong>UVO Controlled Air Purifier</strong></h5>



<p>Like the Seltos, the Sonet too gets connected car technology. That means you can control the air purifier present in the car with your mobile or via touchscreen unit. </p>



<h5><strong>Driver window up/down through voice recognition</strong></h5>



<p>Another cool feature and which is quite useful in today's time is the driver side window can be opened or closed with just voice recognition. This way if you are travelling on highways and you have to collect toll receipt then you need not touch your car but just give a voice command. </p>



<h5><strong>Traction modes </strong></h5>



<p>Traction modes like snow, sand and mud in the Kia Sonet really helps in pulling the car on these surfaces. The car adjusts itself to whichever surface it is going when the command is set right. </p>



<h5><strong>Wake up Command</strong></h5>



<p>'Hello Kia' is how you activate this command and then you can almost do anything with it. Be it changing the song, opening of a sunroof or setting the AC temperature. This command will do it right.</p>

<h5><strong>Bluetooth multi-connection </strong></h5>



<p>Yes, the advance system of the Kia Sonet allows the pairing of two devices at once. The primary device can be accessed for calls and music while the secondary phone is reserved for music only. So this is a new technology which is a first in this segment. </p>



<h5><strong>Wireless phone projection</strong></h5>



<p>Whenever you have to connect to the Apple Car Play or the Android Auto then you connect it with your USB and plug into the head unit. Well, Kia Sonet allows to pair up with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly as soon as you step inside the vehicle. </p>



<h5><strong>Smart key remote engine start </strong></h5>



<p>With your smart key, you can automatically start the engine by holding the middle button. The condition is you have to be in some proximity of your car and then only this function works properly. This is one of the cool features of the Kia Sonet.</p>



<h5><strong>Front parking sensors</strong></h5>



<p>This adds to the safety aid of the Sonet as both front and corner parking sensors are available with the SUV. So this feature really helps the driver park the car in tight spaces quite easily. </p>



<h5><strong>Cooling function with wireless charger</strong></h5>



<p>If your device is capable of wireless charging, then it is again a handy feature in case you forget the charging cable at home. In addition to the wireless charger, it also gets equipped with a cooling function which automatically cools down the battery in case it gets heated up. </p>



<h5><strong>Chrome diamond knurling on the front grille and AC vents</strong></h5>



<p>This is basically just a cosmetic enhancement to the front grille and AC vents by providing a chrome diamond knurling. It really makes the car stand out from the crowd. </p>



<h5><strong>Upper seatback pocket </strong></h5>



<p>Apart from the bottle holders, Kia has really freed up some of the space to keep your mobile and umbrellas. Yes, like the ventilated seat features comes handy in northern regions, this umbrella holder really works where there is tropical season. </p>



<h5><strong>Perfume dispenser with 3 fragrances</strong></h5>



<p>You get a total of three options - ocean, lavender and forest. The perfume dispenser is integrated into the air filter only and sets up the mood right according to the mood of the passengers sitting inside. </p>



<h5><strong>Dual muffler design</strong></h5>



<p>Again, like the chrome knurling, this is also just a gimmick by providing a dual muffler design. This adds to a sporty looking rear profile and that's just it. So it really depends upon your choice and what you're looking for. </p>



<h5><strong>Tailgate centre garnish </strong></h5>

<p>There is a reflector at the rear which connects the taillights. Now, at night it glows and really gives a sleeker look to the Kia Sonet. Kia says its a first-in-segment feature and well, we believe it. </p>



<h5><strong>Integrated panel cluster and infotainment </strong></h5>



<p>Often you must have seen that the rivals in this segment have a separate unit for touchscreen and infotainment system. Kia provides an integrated panel for both infotainment and instrumental cluster. This sets it apart from its rivals. </p>



<h5><strong>Red accented wheel caps</strong></h5>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://www.91wheels.com/news-backend/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/118992349_327980021976257_6907102972920299645_n.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-20985"/></figure>



<p>If you are to buy the GT line then apart from the red and black colour tone, you will also get red-accented wheel caps which really gives the compact SUV a sporty character. </p>



<h5><strong>Boot space</strong></h5>



<p>It gets a huge 392 litres of boot space which is highest in this segment. So that adds to one of the another features of the Kia Sonet. </p>
