    Compact and average car 

    The Sonet is a head-turner for sure. It's got a sporty design. You can choose from colors to match your vibe. It have plenty of legroom and headroom. The seats are comfortable for long drives. In the back, it might feel a little cramped for three adults. The Sonet comes in three engine options: a 1.2L petrol for good mileage, a 1.0L turbo-petrol for more power, and a 1.5L diesel for strong torque.

    Premium and Spacious car 

    As the owner of Kia Sonet whose all expectations have been met by this compact SUV, I can honestly affirm this. Its design, as a tiger nose grille is iconic Kia and sleek lines are really eye catching. The engine of my Sonet is loaded with a turbocharged petrol, that gives an incredible performance. Sonet’s spacious interior and premium features gives the best balance of comfort and convenience. From the user-friendly touchscreen display to the cutting-edge safety components that make me feel confident while driving.

    Compact and average car 

    I recently drove the Kia Sonet , impressed by its sleek style and comfortable interiors. However, its mileage fell short of expectations; while the company claims 15 km/l, I managed 12 km/l in the city and 14 km/l on the highway. The compact SUV's performance was satisfactory, though not exceptional. Its manual transmission and all-wheel drive add versatility, but the lack of memory seats and sunroof may disappoint some. Overall, the Kia Sonet is a decent choice for urban commuters, with room for improvement in fuel efficiency and luxury features.

    It should hve been a 5 seater.Y pay tax & insurance for 2 useless seats.Rather it should have been added as an accessories for the demanding ones only.One hidden cost in long run.
