The prices of the diesel variant range from Rs 9.80 lakh for the HTE manual variant and go up to Rs 15.77 lakh for the X-line variant with 6-speed automatic transmission.
How many variants are there in the Sonet?
The Kia Sonet is offered in eleven broad variants: HTE, HTE (O), HTK, HTK (O), HTK+, HTX, HTX+, GTX, GTX+, and X-Line. There’s also a new Gravity edition based on the HTK Plus trim that is available with multiple engine-gearbox options.

How spacious is it?
The Kia Sonet is spacious enough for small families but there are alternatives for a similar price (like the Tata Nexon or Mahindra XUV 3XO) that offer better rear seat space. The Sonet offers 385 litres of boot space which can easily fit a full-sized suitcase, a medium-sized suitcase along with a trolley bag or some small bags. The rear seat can also split 60:40. Head over to our review, to get a better idea of the Sonet’s space and practicality.

Should you buy the Sonet?
Yes, if you are in the market for a subcompact SUV that offers a well-rounded features package with multiple powertrain options and a host of features, the Sonet would make a good buy. It also feels very premium inside delivering better cabin quality than some SUVs from a segment-above.
