Kia Sonet

The Kia Sonet is a stylish, feature-loaded sub-4-metre SUV that sits just below the brand’s larger offering, the Kia Syros. It offers a wide choice of engine and transmission options including a 1.2-litre petrol, a punchy 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre turbo-diesel, making it ideal for urban buyers seeking a modern, affordable and fun-to-drive sub-compact SUV. With clever packaging and strong feature content the Sonet punches above its size, though rear-seat space will not match that of larger rivals. Prices in India range from about ₹8 lakh for the entry-level to around ₹15.7 lakh (ex-showroom) for the top-spec variant.
