Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Sonet HTX Diesel AT is a compelling package in the sub-4 meter SUV segment in India. What stands out is its powerful and efficient 1.5L CRDi VGT engine, producing 114 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, which makes it a joy to drive both in city traffic and on the highways. The automatic transmission is smooth and responsive, especially in sports mode, where the car becomes more agile and responsive. The interior is another strong point, with comfortable fabric seats, a dual-tone interior, and features like ventilated seats, automatic climate control, and a sunroof. However, some users have noted that the mileage could be better, especially in city driving. Overall, the Sonet HTX Diesel AT offers a great balance of performance, comfort, and features, making it a solid choice for those looking for a premium yet practical SUV.

Price

The Kia Sonet HTX Diesel AT is priced at Rs 13.27 Lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including registration, insurance, and other charges, the price can go up to around Rs 16-17 Lakh. While this might seem a bit steep for some, the features and performance you get make it a worthwhile investment. The HTX variant, although not the top-of-the-line model, offers a comprehensive set of features that enhance both comfort and convenience. For those who value the combination of power, comfort, and modern amenities, the Sonet HTX Diesel AT is competitively priced in its segment.

Latest Updates

Thursday, 08 August 2024 11:39 AM The 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel variant now comes with several new features, including ventilated seats, full leatherette upholstery, and front parking sensors. These additions enhance the comfort and convenience of the vehicle without an increase in the introductory prices. I think these updates make the HTX variant even more appealing to potential buyers.

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 02:50 AM Kia has introduced a new 6 Speed Advance AT transmission for the 1.5 CRDi VGT Diesel Engine in the 2024 Sonet HTX, which is a first-in-segment feature. This transmission is expected to improve the driving experience, especially in urban conditions. I believe this transmission will be a significant selling point for those looking for a smooth and efficient diesel SUV.

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 09:51 AM The HTX variant of the 2024 Kia Sonet diesel now includes 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, a wireless phone charger, and a rear wiper and washer as standard features. These updates add to the overall value-for-money proposition of the vehicle. I think these features will be well-received by customers looking for a well-equipped sub-compact SUV.

Monday, 18 March 2024 02:49 PM The 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel has seen improvements in its suspension, making it handle speed bumps and potholes more smoothly compared to the previous model. This enhancement contributes to a more comfortable ride, especially with multiple passengers. I believe this is a crucial update that will make a noticeable difference in daily driving.

Monday, 18 March 2024 04:53 PM Despite the new features and updates, some potential buyers are cautious about the future of diesel engines in India due to government regulations. There is speculation that diesel engines might be phased out by 2027, which could impact the resale value of diesel vehicles. I think this uncertainty might sway some buyers towards petrol variants.

Monday, 18 March 2024 06:52 AM The 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel retains its powerful 1.5 CRDi VGT engine, delivering 85 kW of power and 250 Nm of torque. This engine is known for its performance and fuel efficiency, making it a popular choice among diesel enthusiasts. I believe this engine remains one of the strongest points of the Sonet HTX.

Monday, 18 March 2024 04:25 AM Kia has maintained the price of the HTX variants despite the addition of new features such as ventilated seats and full leatherette upholstery. This move is seen as a positive step to attract more buyers in the competitive sub-compact SUV segment. I think this pricing strategy will help Kia stay competitive.

Monday, 18 March 2024 03:09 AM The 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel also features advanced safety features, including 6 airbags, electronic stability control, hill assist control, and vehicle stability management. These safety features are standard across all variants, ensuring a safe driving experience. I believe these safety features are a significant selling point for the Sonet HTX.

Monday, 18 March 2024 03:15 AM The interior of the 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel has been upgraded with tan interiors and full leatherette upholstery, replacing the semi-leatherette and fabric white interiors of the previous model. This change enhances the overall interior aesthetics and comfort. I think this upgrade will be appreciated by those who value premium interior design.

Monday, 18 March 2024 02:25 AM Some users have noted a slight decrease in the quality of plastics used in the 2024 Kia Sonet HTX diesel compared to the pre-facelift model. However, this has not significantly impacted the overall user experience. I believe that while this is a minor drawback, it does not overshadow the vehicles many positive aspects.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 11:31 AM The Kia Sonet HTX Diesel AT is certified to deliver a mileage of 19 kmpl, according to ARAI standards. However, real-world mileage can vary, with some users reporting around 9.5 to 14 kmpl in city and highway driving. While this may not be the best in its class, the engines performance and the overall driving experience make up for the slightly lower mileage. For those concerned about running costs, its essential to weigh the performance benefits against the fuel efficiency.
