Price

In India, the Kia Sonet Diesel GTX Plus AT is priced around Rs. 15.55 lakhs ex-showroom in Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can go up to around Rs. 18-19 lakhs, depending on the state and local taxes. While this places it at the higher end of its segment, the extensive list of features, including automatic transmission, paddle shifters, and advanced safety features, justifies the cost. For those seeking a well-rounded package with no compromises on power, comfort, and safety, the Sonet GTX Plus Diesel AT is a worthwhile investment.
