Kia has revealed the variant-wise features list of the Sonet sub-compavct SUV. Available in two trim lines – GT Line and Tech Line – the Sonet is available in a total of six trims – HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+ and GTX+.
Kia launched the Sonet sub-compact SUV in India for an introductory price starting from Rs 6.71 lakh (ex-showroom, India), with prices going up to Rs 11.99 lakh for the top-spec GTX+ variant. The Sonet is the newest entrant in the highly competitive sub-compact SUV space but it already has a lot going on for itself. With a stunning exterior design and interiors to match along with a long list of features, the Kia Sonet could now very well be the one-stop-shop in the sub-4m SUV space.
Just like the Seltos, the Kia Sonet too will be available in two trim lines – GT Line and Tech Line. However, unlike the Seltos, the variant lineup of the Sonet is much simpler. Under the two broad trim lines, there will be six variants on offer – HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, HTX+ and GTX+. There are five variants under the Tech Line while the GT Line comes in a single fully loaded GTX+ variant. The GT Line and the Tech Line are also differentiated by subtle cosmetic enhancements on the outside for the GT Line and also different color schemes for the interiors.
Here we have the variant-wise features list of the Kia Sonet and its pretty long indeed.

The Kia Sonet gets the same powertrain options as the Hyundai Venue. First, there’s the familiar 1.2L, naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 83bhp and 115Nm of torque. This engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. Then there’s the 1.0L turbo-petrol engine that produces 120hp and 172Nm of torque and this comes mated to either the 6-speed iMT gearbox or a 7-speed DCT gearbox. Lastly, the 1.5L diesel engine comes in two specs of tune – 115hp/250Nm mated to a 6-speed AT or 100hp/240Nm mated to a 6-speed MT.

Although Kia Motors has announced the prices of most variants of the Sonet, surprisingly, they are still yet to announce the prices of the top-spec GTX+ automatic variants of the Sonet. We believe Kia Motors left out these variants to avoid the shocker price for them as they will be inevitably expensive. Kia Motors will be announcing the price of the GTX+ automatic variants of the Sonet towards the end of this month.
