What the HTK+ Diesel MT costs on the road
The price above is the sticker. With road tax, registration and the rest of the charges counted in, the HTK+ Diesel MT comes to ₹11,12,580 on the road in Itanagar and ₹12,81,167 in Bengaluru.
Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so where you register decides ₹1,68,587 of what you pay for the identical car. Of the 25 states we can price this variant in, Arunachal Pradesh comes out lowest and Karnataka highest. You pay it where you live, so take this as a reason to check the quote you were given, not as a way to save money.
Comprehensive own-damage cover is on top of both figures: it has been market-priced since 2007 and moves with the insurer, the cover value and your no-claim bonus, so no honest single number exists for it. Budget for it from real quotes.

The full story
At ₹10.56L ex-showroom Delhi this is the 12th of 23 Sonet variants by price, ₹36,000 above the HTK+ (O) Turbo Petrol MT. The same HTK+ kit starts at ₹1.32L less as the HTK+ Petrol MT; the extra here buys the Diesel with the 6-speed manual. Worth a hard look before you sign: the cheapest HTK+ (O) actually costs ₹84,000 less than this variant and buys headlamps (LED projector against Halogen) and LED fog lamps among 3 additions. That price is a different engine or gearbox though: keeping the Diesel with the 6-speed manual, the HTK+ (O) starts at ₹11.06L.

Kia Sonet HTK+: the questions people ask
Price, on-road total, engine and what this trim goes without.
- What is the price of the Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel MT?
- ₹10.56L, ex-showroom Delhi. That makes it 12th of 23 by price, ₹36,000 above the HTK+ (O) Turbo Petrol MT.
- What is the on-road price of the Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel MT?
- Expect ₹11,12,580 in Itanagar and ₹12,81,167 in Bengaluru. Road tax is set by the state rather than by the maker, so the identical car costs ₹1,68,587 more at one end of the country than the other. That is the sticker plus road tax, registration and the rest of the charges, across the 25 states we have verified. It does not include comprehensive own-damage cover, which every insurer prices differently.
- Which engine and gearbox does the Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel MT have?
- The Diesel, 116 PS, with the 6-speed manual. The maker's figure for it is 24.1 km/l.
- What features does the Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel MT get?
- The kit worth naming on this trim: Wireless CarPlay / Android Auto, Wireless phone charger, 60:40 split rear seat, Rear parking camera, Front parking sensors and Touchscreen (8").
- What does the Kia Sonet HTK+ Diesel MT miss out on?
- The HTK+ (O) above it adds headlamps (LED projector against Halogen), LED fog lamps and leatherette upholstery, for ₹84,000 less. That is the cheapest way into the HTK+ (O) though, on a different engine or gearbox: keeping this one, it is ₹50,000 more.
- Is the HTK+ the right Sonet to buy?
- That depends on where the value sits across the whole range rather than on this trim alone, and we work it out variant by variant on our Kia Sonet which-variant page. The short version: pay for a step only where the kit it adds is kit you would actually use.
