Q. How's the performance and mileage of Kia Sonet diesel automatic gear?

Kia Sonet Diesel AT is powered by a 1493 cc engine which puts out 113.43bhp@4000rpm of power and 250nm@1500-2750rpm of torque. The diesel-auto would make for a great companion as a daily driver or for a long journey. That’s because the torque makes upping the pace a breezy affair, be it at city speeds or on the highway. The smooth and unhurried shifts of the gearbox deliver a sense of premiumness, but for highway stints, you do wish it was a touch faster. Thankfully, the torque masks this shortcoming well, and its 0-100kmph time of 11.8 seconds shows that it is only a few tenths slower than the turbo-petrol and DCT combo. The manual does the same run in an admirable 12.3 seconds (claimed). If we talk about its mileage, it returns a certified mileage of 19.0 kmpl. Moreover, we'd recommend taking a test drive of the car for a better insight into the performance, comfort, and compatibility. Follow the link for dealership details - Car Showrooms.
