Update: Kia has announced the prices of the GT Line automatic variants of the Sonet. Check them out here.

The Kia Sonet has been launched with prices ranging between Rs 6.71 lakh and Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The range topping GTX+ gets a choice of manual and automatic options for both turbo-petrol and diesel engines.
Kia will announce the prices for the top-spec automatic options for the Sonet later, like it did with the Seltos.
It will likely price the GTX+ turbo-petrol DCT and diesel-automatic at Rs 12.99 lakh (ex-showroom).

Kia has finally revealed the prices for the Sonet, its newest offering in India. However, the carmaker did not announce the prices for the top-spec petrol and diesel automatic variants. These rates are expected to be revealed towards the end of the month.

The Sonet is offered in six trim levels: HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+ and GTX+. It is available with a total of three engines: 1.2-litre petrol, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel. The top-spec GTX+ variant is offered with both manual and automatic transmissions, 7-speed dual-clutch automatic for the turbo-petrol engine and a 6-speed torque convertor automatic for the diesel engine. We expect these top-spec automatic variants to be priced as follows:

	GTX Manual	GTX Automatic (expected)
Petrol	Rs 11.99 lakh	Rs 12.99 lakh
Diesel	Rs 11.99 lakh	Rs 12.99 lakh

The Kia sub-4m SUV is one of the best-equipped offerings in this segment with features like a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated front seats and built-in air purifier. It also comes with cruise control, BOSE sound system, connected car technology and remote engine start using the Kia smart key. In terms of safety, the top-spec Sonet comes with 6 airbags, front parking sensors and a tyre pressure monitor. The top-spec automatic variants also get multiple drive and traction modes.

The Sonet has been launched with introductory prices ranging between Rs 6.71 lakh and Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). It is taking on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV300, Ford EcoSport, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Tata Nexon. Kia’s sub-4m SUV offering will also rival upcoming models like the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger.
