Does the Kia Sonet's 1.0L turbo-petrol engine live up to all the hype on the road?
Of course, the Kia Sonet’s 1.0L turbo-petrol has been the talking point among car enthusiasts, and Kia has been marketing it as peppy and fun to drive. The debate, however, has been around how this small turbocharged engine performs in real world conditions in a country like India that has varied driving environments. Owners that like it note it's responsive and fun to drive on the highway whilst others complain about lag in the city and less than stellar fuel efficiency. It's a common debate of whether this engine is fit for a compact SUV and how it measures up to naturally aspirated engines of similar class. There's also interest in how the engine works with other transmission options like the DCT and iMT. I am finding out other people's real world experience will the 1.0 L trobo Petrol engine in this engine and how does work, its efficiency if its caramelised for indian driving conditions.
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.
