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.

However, real-world mileage can vary, with some users reporting around 9.5 to 14 kmpl in city and highway driving.
