Our take on this /// Verdict

The Kia Sonet HTX Turbo iMT is a compelling package in the sub-4 meter SUV segment, offering a blend of style, features, and performance. The 998 cc Smartstream G1.0 TGDi engine, producing 118 bhp and 172 Nm of torque, provides a smooth and powerful driving experience, especially with the turbo kicking in at higher speeds. The iMT (2-pedal manual) transmission is a breeze to use, particularly in city driving, making it a great option for those who want the convenience of an automatic without the added cost. The interior is plush and roomy, with features like automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and a sunroof, which enhance the overall comfort and premium feel. However, some users have noted that the mileage could be better, and the turning radius can be a bit inconvenient. Overall, its a great choice for those seeking a feature-rich, comfortable, and stylish SUV.

The Kia Sonet HTX Turbo iMT is priced at Rs. 11.72 Lakh (ex-showroom) in New Delhi.

This pricing positions the Sonet HTX Turbo iMT competitively in the market, offering a lot of value for the features and performance it provides. The EMI for this variant starts at around Rs. 24,559, making it accessible to a wide range of buyers. Given the extensive list of features and the robust engine, the price seems justified, especially when compared to other vehicles in its segment.
