Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Sonet HTX Plus Diesel is a compelling package that balances features, performance, and design exceptionally well. From my perspective, this vehicle stands out in its segment with its refined 1.5L CRDi VGT engine, which delivers 114 bhp and 250 Nm of torque, making it a joy to drive both in the city and on highways. The interior is plush and comfortable, with features like ventilated seats, automatic climate control, and a sunroof, which enhance the driving experience significantly. The vehicles stability, suspension, and steering feel are also noteworthy, providing a confident and smooth ride. However, the price point might be a consideration for some, as it is on the higher side for a sub-4 meter SUV. Nonetheless, the overall quality, service, and the plethora of features make the Kia Sonet HTX Plus Diesel a strong contender in its class.

Price

The Kia Sonet HTX Plus Diesel is priced at Rs. 13.90 Lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes, registration, and insurance, the price can escalate to around Rs. 16-17 Lakh. While this may seem steep for a sub-4 meter SUV, the vehicles extensive list of features, premium interior, and robust performance justify the cost. For those who value comfort, technology, and a refined driving experience, the additional expense is well worth it. However, potential buyers should also consider similarly priced variants from competitors like the Kia Seltos HTK Diesel and the Hyundai Venue SX Opt DT Diesel to make an informed decision.

These additions enhance the vehicles convenience and aesthetic appeal. I think these updates make the Sonet even more attractive in its segment.

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 03:16 PM Kia India has introduced a new GTX variant for the Sonet, which sits between the HTX Plus and GTX Plus variants of the Seltos. While not directly related to the HTX Plus, this move indicates Kias strategy to offer more feature-packed options in the same price range. I believe this will give buyers more choices and potentially boost sales.
