What do the Sonet Anniversary Edition's features look like compared to rivals in the same price range?
06 January 2025 07:17
It's a mixed bag. For its part, some areas are really good (like the LED headlamps), but its lack of connected car features is disappointing.

I think the price is competitive. If you're after the latest tech, however, you might want to consider the top spec rivals.

With the turbo petrol I'm getting about 14-15 km/l in the city, in my experience. That’s not bad, but not as low as Kia claimed.

The diesel variant is almost on the claimed figures. In mixed driving conditions, I’m averaging around 18-19 km/l.

Your driving style really decides the fuel efficiency. With petrol I’ve managed to get close to 20 km/l on highways driving conservatively.

I thought Kia’s claims were a little optimistic. All in all, I get about 16–17 km/l, which is good, but not really as high as advertised.

The iMT version appears to be more efficient than DCT in real world conditions. I constantly get 1-2 km/l more.

It makes a huge difference what the traffic conditions are. With the petrol engine, I am barely crossing 10 km/l in Bangalore traffic.

On long highway trips, I find fuel efficiency to be pretty consistent with what Kia's claims. The average is brought down by all the city driving.

The Sonet's real world efficiency is much better than my old car. It won't hit the advertised numbers, but for its size and performance it's very good.
Is Kia’s new Sonet Anniversary Edition worth the extra cost over the regular HTX trim?
06 January 2025 07:17
To be honest, it's not worth it. It looks cool, but 40k on cosmetic upgrades when I could put it towards some aftermarket mods or fuel?

If you’re a collector or a Kia enthusiast, it might be worth it. Limited run status might make it a little more special and potentially keep its value better.

It depends, I’d say, on how much you value uniqueness. If standing out is important to you – sure, great. If you're a little more practical, though, the regular HTX is the way to go.

I don’t like the tangerine accents. I’d rather get the regular HTX and save up the difference for some subtle customizations.

06 January 2025 07:17
It's a tough call. It's just cosmetic changes, but those changes do make it look more premium. However, if you plan to hang onto the car for a lot of years then it might be worth it for the fancy schmancy style points.

I don't think you get enough for what it is. Not just visual tweaks, Kia should have thrown in some extra features to justify the price bump.

From a car enthusiast’s point of view, I like the sportier look over the Anniversary Edition. In practice, that's a lot of money for purely aesthetic improvements.
Does the Kia Sonet's 1.0L turbo-petrol engine live up to all the hype on the road?
03 January 2025 12:35
I have the 1.0L turbo with the DCT and it is a lot of fun to drive! Yes, there's a bit of lag below 2000 rpm, but once it's on the go it's really quite quick. It's great for highway overtakes.

I honestly believe that a turbo engine is really overkill on a car this small. Fuel economy is disappointing and the lag in stop and go traffic can be annoying. Most buyers will find the naturally aspirated engine makes more sense.

I've driven both the turbo and NA versions and the turbo is a ton more fun. It’s not cheap, however, and is less fuel efficient. It's a head vs heart decision.
