The 1.5-litre diesel 6-speed Automatic is now available across HTE(O), HTK(O), HTK+, and HTK+(O) variants, alongside 1.0-litre turbo petrol 7DCT options in HTK(O) and HTK+(O).
The introduction of diesel automatic variants also responds to customers seeking the frugality and efficiency of diesel engines paired with the convenience of an automatic transmission, enabling a more relaxed driving experience for both urban commutes and highway journeys.
Launched in 2020, the Kia Sonet has established itself as one of the best-selling models in India’s compact SUV segment, recently crossing the 5-lakh sales milestone, reflecting strong customer trust in the brand and continues to be a key growth driver in the market.
The Sonet is available across multiple trims with five powertrain options, combining bold design, advanced technology and a feature-rich cabin that continues to set benchmarks in the segment. It comes equipped with 15 robust standard safety features, 10 ADAS Level1 features and 70+ connected car features.
