Kia Sonet Overview

The Kia Sonet is one of the most versatile compact SUVs in India, offering the widest range of engine and transmission combinations in its segment — including a turbo petrol with DCT, diesel with 6-speed torque converter automatic, and an iMT (intelligent Manual Transmission) that gives clutchless manual operation.

Feature-wise, the Sonet punches well above its price with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, Bose sound system, ventilated front seats, connected car tech and ADAS on top variants — features typically seen only on cars costing ₹5-10 lakh more.

Kia's brand has rapidly established credibility in India through consistently well-built, well-equipped vehicles that bring Korean feature-loading at competitive prices.
