How is the Kia Sonet car?
Pros
- 2023 update - RDE/BS6 Phase 2 compliant, diesel motor gets iMT gearbox, extra features
- Refined motors/gearboxes - Peppy/smooth performance, good refinement, frugal
- Easy to drive - Compact size, steering that's light with reasonable feedback
- Good quality - Quality and fit/finish are on par with segment expectations
- Boot capacity - Reasonably sized boot good for occupants to last seven days
Cons
- Firm ride quality - Never feels settled, bounces at high speeds under full load
- Rear seat space - The rear bench is a squeeze for anything more than two adults
- Rear visibility - Is hampered by the chunky C-pillars and compact rear windscreen
Kia Sonet 2023 Verdict
The Kia Sonet packs a punch owing to the overall packaging. It includes the young looks, BS6 Phase 2 compliant powertrains, a new iMT gearbox for the diesel and a feature-loaded cabin.
