What this car actually returns
Turbo Petrol automatic: owners and testers see around 13.5 to 15 km/l
Two magazines have now measured the current car independently, and they tell the same story: this quick dual clutch automatic is thirsty in traffic and a great deal happier once the road opens up. Treat the headline as a mixed average, because town driving sits well below it and open road well above. If you mostly commute, budget on the town picture rather than on this number.

Why there is no overall score
Scores are our reading of published, independent evidence, not the manufacturer's, and we deliberately publish no single overall rating: a car can be excellent on safety and weak on resale, and one number would hide that. How we score, and how makers can respond.

Good to know about the Kia Sonet
Base and top model, what the trim names mean, how it is sold, and what each way costs, the mileage
Kia Sonet base model and top model
- Which Kia Sonet is the base model, and what does it cost?
- The HTE, from ₹7.41L ex-showroom, is where the Sonet range starts. Features you get even here: 6 airbags and ESC. What you give up against the top X-Line: no ADAS, no 360° camera and no blind spot monitor, and 33 more.See the HTE Petrol MT in full →
- Which Kia Sonet is the top model, and what does it cost?
- The X-Line tops the range at ₹13.80L ex-showroom. Over the base HTE it adds level 1 ADAS, 360° camera and blind spot monitor, and 33 more. Top of the ladder is not the same as top of the price list here: the GTX+ Diesel AT at ₹14.27L costs more.See the X-Line Turbo Petrol AT in full →
What the Kia Sonet trim names mean
- What do the Kia Sonet trim names mean?
- A trim is a level of equipment, and Kia uses 8 names for them on the Sonet: in its own order they run HTE, HTE (O), HTK (O) and 5 more. The name is not the car, though: HTK (O) alone covers 5 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox rather than in equipment, so the trim you settle on still leaves you a choice. Between them the 23 variants cost ₹7.41L to ₹14.27L, ex-showroom.
- HTE
- 1st of 8, one variant, ₹7.41L
- HTE (O)
- 2nd of 8, 3 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹7.84L to ₹10.00L
- HTK (O)
- 3rd of 8, 5 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹8.85L to ₹11.00L
- HTK+
- 4th of 8, 3 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹9.24L to ₹11.36L
- HTK+ (O)
- 5th of 8, 5 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹9.72L to ₹11.86L
- HTX
- 6th of 8, 3 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹11.51L to ₹12.30L
- GTX+
- 7th of 8, 2 variants, differing in fuel and gearbox, ₹13.66L to ₹14.27L
- X-Line
- 8th of 8, one variant, ₹13.80L
How the Kia Sonet is sold, and what each way costs
You can have the Sonet as petrol or diesel, with a manual or an automatic gearbox. That pair narrows the list before any trim does, so it is the thing to settle first.
Petrol, manual
From ₹7.41L ex-showroom, 7 variants
Cheapest one: the HTE Petrol MT →Diesel, manual
From ₹9.20L ex-showroom, 5 variants
Cheapest one: the HTE (O) Diesel MT →Petrol, automatic
From ₹10.00L ex-showroom, 5 variants
Cheapest one: the HTK (O) Turbo Petrol AT →Diesel, automatic
From ₹10.00L ex-showroom, 6 variants
Cheapest one: the HTE (O) Diesel AT →
- Is there a petrol Kia Sonet, and what does it cost?
- Yes. The cheapest is the HTE Petrol MT at ₹7.41L ex-showroom, and 12 of the 23 variants are petrol. You can have it either way: the cheapest petrol automatic is the HTK (O) Turbo Petrol AT at ₹10.00L. For the gearbox on its own, look at the HTK (O), which sells both: ₹75,000 more as an automatic than as a manual.
- Is there a diesel Kia Sonet, and what does it cost?
- Yes. The cheapest is the HTE (O) Diesel MT at ₹9.20L ex-showroom, and 11 of the 23 variants are diesel. You can have it either way: the cheapest diesel automatic is the HTE (O) Diesel AT at ₹10.00L, ₹80,000 more than the same trim with a manual.
