Kia Sonet price in Kra Daadi
On-road in Kra Daadi, the base model Petrol 1.2 HTE starts at 7.97 lakh and the top model Diesel 1.5 GTX+ AT reaches 15.63 lakh. The Diesel 1.5 HTK+ sits between the two at 11.57 lakh.
If you are financing the car, a loan of 7,20,000 on the base model Petrol 1.2 HTE means an EMI of 11,584 a month. Stepping up to the top model Diesel 1.5 GTX+ AT raises that to 22,686 on a loan of 14,10,000.
Why prices change from the base model to the top model:
This range carries three engines and four gearbox types, which is more choice than any rival here and the main reason the price spread is wide.
The diesel costs more than either petrol, and the 1.0-litre turbo sits above the 1.2-litre.
Four gearboxes means four different price points for the same engine in some cases.
The two 10.25-inch screens, the Bose sound system and the ventilated front seats arrive higher up the range.
The driver assistance features and the 360-degree camera are reserved for the upper variants.
Registration, road tax and insurance are added to the ex-showroom figure, and how much they add depends on the state you buy in. That is why the same variant costs more in one city than another.

The Kia Sonet Diesel 1.5 HTX AT is the best value-for-money variant in the lineup. It combines strong diesel performance, smooth automatic convenience, and premium features like ventilated seats, sunroof, and cruise control. It offers an ideal balance of comfort, efficiency, and pricing for most compact SUV buyers.
If outright performance with the ease of an automatic matters to you, then you should pick the DCT-equipped Kia Sonet. However, this gearbox can be clunky and slow to respond, particularly at low revs.
Bought the Sonet in a mid variant instead of stretching for the top one. After six months, there are only two features from the higher variant that I actually miss.
I currently drive a Hyundai i10 CNG, with daily running of around 6 km in Gurgaon city traffic and a monthly highway drive of around 200 km. I am now planning to upgrade my car, with an on-road budget of Rs. 12 lakh for a petrol sub-4-metre SUV, up to Rs. 14 lakh for a petrol midsize SUV, and Rs. 15 lakh for an EV. I live in a rented apartment on the second floor, so I am apprehensive about getting an EV. I prefer an EV, but installing a charger could be complicated due to the sanctioned load. My running could increase to nearly 800 km per month in the future. My key priorities are: - Good suspension and ride comfort, as I have a back problem - Decent fuel efficiency in heavy city traffic - Low to medium maintenance costs - Auto hold and ventilated seats would be good to have I sometimes consider buying a manual, but I mostly prefer an automatic. I am currently considering the Maruti Brezza, Baleno AMT, Fronx AMT/AT, Sonet iMT, Exter AMT, and even the upcoming Inster, VF3, and Bayon. I am open to other suggestions as well. Note: I had a bad driving experience with the Punch AMT, as it caused back fatigue.
Given your priorities of ride comfort, fuel efficiency and low maintenance, the Maruti Brezza automatic is the most sensible upgrade. It offers a comfortable ride, a proven naturally aspirated petrol engine and Maruti's strong service network, which keeps long-term ownership costs in check. The torque converter automatic is smooth in city traffic, and the Brezza's higher seating position will help with your back issues. The Sonet iMT is not the right choice here. While it is a good car, the iMT is not a true automatic and will not offer the same ease of use in Gurgaon traffic. The Baleno AMT and Exter AMT are also not ideal given your back issues and the fact that AMT gearboxes are not as smooth as torque converter automatics in stop-start conditions.On the EV front, your apprehension about charging is valid. Without a straightforward home charging solution, an EV will add unnecessary complexity to your ownership experience. The upcoming Bayon is interesting and if you can wait a few weeks you would have a better picture before making a decision. For now, the Brezza automatic strikes the best balance between comfort, efficiency and hassle-free ownership.
I am confused between the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT and Kia Sonet HTK(O) Turbo DCT. My monthly running is around 1,300-1,500 km, mostly in city traffic, with occasional trips. The Sonet offers more features and feels more premium, while the Brezza seems more reliable and fuel-efficient. Which one should I opt for?
Go for the Maruti Suzuki Brezza VXI AT. With your running of 1,300-1,500 km a month, mostly in city traffic, the Brezza’s naturally aspirated petrol engine paired with the 6-speed torque converter automatic is the better fit. It is smoother in stop-start conditions, easier to live with and more forgiving over long-term ownership. Maruti’s service network and lower maintenance costs also make it the more sensible choice for a long-term city car.The Kia Sonet HTK(O) Turbo DCT does feel more premium inside and offers more features, but the DCT gearbox is not as well suited to heavy city traffic. The Brezza may not feel as feature-rich, but it is the more dependable and cost-effective option for your usage pattern.
Started using a windshield sunshade because my Kia Sonet sits outside in the afternoon. Didn't expect it to make such a noticeable difference when getting into the car. Small accessory but surprisingly useful.
@autocar.india I am a sonet owner and regret buying it. It is possibly the worst car an automaker can make. It's suspension is worse than a rickshaw! The car rocks ,wobbles and jerks on the slightest of potholes or even smooth speed breakers. The service pple Were equally useless in terms of not doing a thing about the suspension. Coming to mileage It's real mileage is only 6-7max in traffic. By reducing overall cost kia has made a 3rd grade car which is not worth even 5 lacs Sincere advice not to even consider it. Am selling it off in only 2 yrs . k
