Is the Kia Sonet worth the premium it commands?

In the Indian market, the Kia Sonet is creating a buzz with a long list of features in its higher trims. But the top variants cost a bomb with on road prices crossing 18 lakh. The Sonet has attracted the attention of car enthusiasts and potential buyers, who are debating whether it offers good value for money for a sub-4m SUV or it is overpriced. The price would justify the premium features like ventilated seats, 10.25 inch touchscreen and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) seen in the 2024 facelift, some argue. A number of others argue that buyers at this price point should consider more spacious, larger vehicles. The question is whether the Sonet's feature rich package can help overcome the compact size and relatively high price tag in the minds of Indian consumers.
