User Reviews for Sonet
- Back side exterior few dull and interior best interior 2 colour combination best hota single tone thoda low
- Amazing car with awesome interiors , features Searing comfort, design. Overall nest car in budget segment with luxurious feel
- The best car in this segment you can feel the turbo power inside the cabin when the rpm crosses 2000 the best
- Very good car in terms of every parameter and in budget also so I will suggest all of you that this car is very suitable for every one
- My Sonet HTE 1.5 crossed 12k km in 1 year. Overall I am very much happy with my beast. Performance of this car is excellent with very much refined and punchy petrol engine. High-speed stability is brilliant with superior handling given. Its an excellent cruiser through highway. I did have lot of drives through ghat section where its pretty easy to handle the car in hairpin curves and broken bad patches. 20.5 gc makes difference here. Suspension of the car is little stiff but its good only. Never had any kind of discomfort through broken/ bad roads. I would say long drives were very much comfortable in my Sonet. I really love features Ventilated seats, air purifier, hill hold assist for 3 seconds, voice commands etc.. but really disappointed that they haven't given heads up display .Safety features wise its really good with 6 airbags given and features like traction control etc are very helpful. Bose audio sound quality is really good but its a big let down that android auto connectivity is not wireless. Come on KIA .Mileage of the car is pretty descent but some times noticed drop in mileage especially frequent breaking slowing conditions
