Drive Review of Kia Sonet 

By condensing big brother Seltos’s winning formula into a smaller package, the Kia Sonet thrives. Not only did they share nearly all of the same features, many of which were unheard of at this price point. Also excellent he shares a 1.5 diesel engine and either a manual or torque converter automatic gearbox. Diesel is certainly the best powertrain, offering a great blend of smoothness, fuel efficiency and torque, allowing the little Sonet to drive like a bigger, more premium car.1.0 Turbocharged. The petrol with is still the enthusiast’s choice, but no manual gearbox is offered. iMT or DCT only.

However, all of these come at a price, with the top set being priced in the higher segment.

But this is a compact SUV for now. The Sonet is your choice if you want the most well-rounded, feature-packed compact car that can do almost anything.
