Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Sonet Turbo GTX Plus IMT Dual Tone is a compelling package in the compact SUV segment, offering a blend of performance, features, and comfort. The 1.0-liter turbocharged engine, paired with the IMT (clutchless manual) transmission, provides a smooth and powerful driving experience, especially evident in its ability to handle both city and long drives with ease. The vehicle is loaded with top-notch features such as ventilated seats, a sunroof, 360-degree camera, and advanced safety features like ADAS, making it a well-rounded choice. However, some users have noted minor niggles such as the lack of paddle shifters, non-functional roof rails, and some limitations in the infotainment system. Overall, it is a solid option for those seeking a feature-rich and comfortable compact SUV with good performance.

Price

The Kia Sonet Turbo GTX Plus IMT Dual Tone is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for this variant is around Rs. 13.59 lakh, depending on the location and any local taxes.

This pricing makes it an attractive option in its segment, offering a good balance of features and performance at a reasonable cost. However, its always advisable to check with local dealers for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.
