I am currently using a petrol Creta with a manual transmission and planning to upgrade to a diesel automatic, as I have been driving about 75 km daily over the past year, with 60% in the city and 40% on highways. Considering budget constraints, I have shortlisted the Kia Sonet D-AT GT line, as it offers diesel Creta-like performance and is feature-loaded. However, I have heard that Kia has stopped dispatching diesel Sonet cars. Is this correct? If yes, what are the alternate options?

You could consider the Kia Syros diesel-auto, which offers the same engine-gearbox combination in a more practical and roomier package. It has similar features to the Kia Sonet and boasts a high-quality interior.

Alternatively, the Hyundai Creta diesel-auto or Kia Seltos diesel-auto are options, though these will require a higher budget.
