The Kia Sonet Turbo HTX Plus iMT is a compelling package that ticks many boxes for those looking for a feature-rich, comfortable, and stylish sub-4 meter SUV.

The cars interior is plush, with premium features like ventilated seats, a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, and an air purifier, making it feel a segment above its competitors.
