The Kia Sonet is a sub-4-metre compact SUV positioned in one of India's most competitive segments. It is offered with turbo-petrol, naturally aspirated petrol and diesel engines, with power spanning roughly 82 bhp to 118 bhp, and a wide gearbox choice including manual, iMT, DCT and torque-converter automatics.

With its bold styling, segment-leading kit and broad powertrain spread, it suits buyers wanting a premium, well-equipped first SUV.

Feature-rich compact SUV hampered by thirsty engines

“The Sonet punches above its weight with a loaded feature set, sharp design, and strong value proposition in the Rs 7-10L bracket. However, real-world efficiency lags behind rivals, and the 118bhp engine feels adequate rather than eager—best enjoyed with sensible expectations and selective trim choice.
How the score breaks down — weighted across 6 dimensions, scored against the segment set
✓Stands out
- 8 connected tech features and 3 ADAS functions for segment
- Dual-fuel flexibility with 24.1 km/l efficiency option
- Sunroof and ventilated seats standard—uncommon at this price
- 6 airbags and sturdy build inspire confidence
- Strong value score reflects competitive pricing
!Gives us pause
- 118bhp engine feels underpowered in real-world driving situations
- Overall efficiency of 3.2 suggests petrol thirst; highway costs add up
- Boot space at 385L tight for weekend trips with family
- Comfort and safety scores lag segment leaders in maturity
