    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.

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.

  • Sonet
    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.

    Good Car 

    I have wegonr vxi model and i am satisfied with it.The only problem i got here is the ac cooling, It is not1upto the mark.In summer, It will help for driver and co driver but not good for other members.As the throw is1not efficiedt.I like the seat height and my father also like this thing specially bumper to bumper traffic, It1helps a lot us.Although it is not suitable to use this car for a long drive like about 300-400km as the ride1quality is only suitable for small distance or within the city.The mileage is good enough even after many1years uses.Clutch is good not hard so your leg will not fell pain during city ride.Vibration are not1noticable.Now the maine problem is build quality, Because it has no official safety rating, This is the1drawback for this family car.As i said it is suitable for short distance, So it is not a big thing.But if you1are a rush driver then think a second before buy.If your budget is aroud 6-7lacs then you can try this car for15 member family.
