About Kia Sonet

4.3

The Kia Sonet might be a small SUV, but its edgy design, complemented by premium lighting elements, gives it strong road presence. The cabin experience is among the best in the segment too, with features such as a sunroof and large screens. It is also known for its mature driving experience and wide range of engine and powertrain options, catering to different types of buyers. As a bonus, the Sonet even offers an automatic transmission in its lower variants, adding convenience for budget-conscious buyers.

Best in this segment I am using last 3 years excellent good looking small su good ground clearance everything fine good average best for the city as a small car I am quiet happy with this carI have run 35000 km till now it’s good car

The Sonet diesel automatic with TC provides excellent mileage of 25 kmpl.

Sonet will give you more creature comforts.

By Prabhudev siddapura venkataramon Jul 21, 2026

The Sonet is also less comfortable and smaller compared to the Syros diesel.

By Adarsh Paliwalon Jul 21, 2026

Rivals like the Sonet have an edge in features, resale value, and a widespread service network.

By Himadri Dharon Jul 21, 2026

We chose the Kia Sonet because it feels more reliable and premium. The DCT in eco mode is boring but grounded, which is good for a new driver. It feels like the car takes care of you.

By Manoharon Jul 21, 2026

I used the Sonet before and find the XUV-3XO better.

By Ashish Singhalon Jul 21, 2026

Consider Kia Sonet if you like Venue.

By Ramesh Son Jul 21, 2026

If you drive mostly in the city, it's better to avoid the GDI turbo like in the Sonet. The DCT is not recommended for city driving.

By Faizon Jul 21, 2026

Considering getting a Sonet diesel with automatic transmission for a good deal. It has a proper torque converter gearbox. Plan to use it on highways weekly.

Great Features in a Compact SUV

The Sonet’s cabin is packed with features you’d expect in a higher segment. From the touchscreen to the wireless charging, everything works smoothly. It's stylish inside and out, though the ride can feel a bit stiff on bumpy roads.

Perfect Urban SUV

Bought a used Sonet from Spinny and I couldn’t be happier. It’s in great condition, and I love the way it drives. Parking is easy, mileage is decent, and it just looks great on the road. Highly recommended!

Smooth Drive, Ideal for Daily Use

I’ve been using the Sonet for over a year now, and it’s been great for daily commutes. The engine is responsive, and the automatic gearbox makes traffic much easier to deal with. Rear seat space could’ve been better, but overall, it’s value for money.

By Harsh Malhotraon Jul 21, 2026

Good Car, But Could Be More Spacious

No complaints about performance or features—both are solid. But the rear seat legroom is tight for adults, especially on long drives. Works well for a small family or city use though.

By Rhea Kapooron Jul 21, 2026

Compact, Stylish, and Loaded with Features

I love how the Kia Sonet looks and feels. It’s compact enough for city driving but still gives that SUV vibe. The touchscreen, digital cluster, and rear camera make everyday drives super convenient. Great car for first-time SUV buyers.

Premium Feel

The car looks very stylish and gives a premium, VIP feel. Its features and sensors are very helpful and enhance the driving experience. The Kia Sonet comes well-equipped with accessories and safety features, offering great comfort. The sunroof adds to its appeal, providing a beautiful view and making the overall experience even better.

Stylish Comfort

The car is stylish, comfortable, and offers a spacious interior. The IMT (clutchless manual) makes driving in traffic बेहद easy and convenient. It comes with good features, and the sunroof is a big hit with children. Overall, it’s a great choice for long-distance journeys.

Great Value

The Tata Nexon is truly a value-for-money option in the sub-4 meter SUV segment. It offers a solid SUV-like comfort and driving feel, making it enjoyable for both city and highway use. The mileage is quite decent, giving around 14–15 km/l in the city and 22–24 km/l on highways when driven below 100 km/h. One of the standout features is its safety, with disc brakes on all four wheels, which adds to driver confidence. I’ve driven it for 700 km over 30 days so far, and the experience has been very positive. A long-term review is still pending, but the initial ownership experience has been satisfying.

Great Choice

Very good experience with 91wheels.com. My first choice for a new car is Kia. Kia cars offer good mileage, stylish design, and strong performance.
