Like the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet will get three engine options – a 1.5L petrol, a 1.0L turbo petrol, and a 1.5L turbo diesel. The Sonet will also get a GT Line variant available with the 1.0L turbo petrol and 1.5L turbo diesel engine options.
Transmission options include a five-speed MT, a six-speed MT, a six-speed AT, a seven-speed DCT, and a six-speed iMT (clutchless transmission). Following in the footsteps of Kia Seltos and Kia Carnival, Kia Sonet will also feature UVO Connect for remote and voice-assisted functionalities. Expect a price range of about Rs 7 lakh to Rs 12 lakh (ex-showroom).
With the Sonet, Kia offers its customers a product that boasts world-class quality, powerful design, cutting-edge technology, unparalleled features and a staggering variety of options.
