KIA Sonet User Reviews

Write a Review
4.7/5 Very Good based on 14 reviews
  • All (14)
  • Specs (3)
  • Mileage (11)
  • Perfect for Daily City Runs

    the Kia Sonet feels light on the road, parking in tight spots is easy, and the 1.5L engine gives a smooth pickup without making me spend too much on fuel. The touchscreen and wireless Android Auto make every trip fun. I often take it to work and sometimes to the Corniche with friends, and the sound system really does the job. For a small SUV, it feels roomy enough and safe with its airbags and stability control. If you need a stylish, budget-friendly car for family or solo use, the Sonet doesn’t disappoint.

  • Powerful compact SUV

    I've been using the Kia Sonet for the last one year mostly in Jeddah, my first ever SUV for everyday office commuting, so most city drivers, but there are family road trips. I have no complaints from the Sonte, the performance has been good, the power and torque is nice, and the interior is something my family loves. Also, given the traffic in the city, the fuel mileage has been just fine. Overall, a positive ownership experience. After using a hatchback for many years, I find the Sonet enjoyable with its higher ground clearance.

  • My compact SUV for everyday drive

    Been using the Kia sonnet for a year now, and this is my first ever SUV, after using a hatchback for years. Overall the experience has been positive. I like the engine refinement, the mileage is satisfactory along with interior quality. However, the cabin is not very big but that is fine because it's a compact SUV, but we have a small family so for 4 people and luggage it suffices the need. After one year, there are hardly any issues, the service has been nothing but excellent, and Kia has been a good brand ownership experience for me.

  • Sonet is mix of Style, Tech and performance

    The Kia Sonet, the compact SUV has so many positive elements that makes it quite a suitable car in its segment. For me it mixes good design, tech and most practical features for everyday driving needs. The bold, modern exterior is boasted by an equally comfortable and premium cabin which has got infotainment, ambient lighting, an electric sunroof, and wireless charging. And safety is another highlight with features like automatic emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring. I would also say the efficient engines give power and best fuel economy.

  • The Best choice in a compact SUV segment

    The Kia Sonet is a top choice in the compact SUV segment, known for its practicality and style. It boasts a 1.5L diesel engine that balances fuel efficiency with power, making it versatile for various driving conditions. The Sonet's reliability and low maintenance costs make it an excellent option for first-time car buyers in Saudi Arabia. While the cabin may feel a bit small to some, the overall luxurious and comfortable interior makes it perfect for family trips. With its premium features and good value for money, the Kia Sonet is a solid choice for small families.

  • Good compact SUV

    I've been using the sonet for the last six months, and after about two months, I started to notice the significant drop in the mileage with increasing engine noise. It was really shocking for a new car to come up with something like this. However, after I referred the Sonet to the dealers in Dammam, they not only apologised for the inconvenience but within a matter of days resolved the issues. It was smoothing from the factory which didn’t come up during inspection but appeared out of the blue. I’m happy with the Sonet’s performance now, and enjoying my daily driving.

  • Safety and powerful

    Being a Sonet owner for the last 8 months, this is my first new car as I mostly drove used one. And, the experience with the Kia Sonet makes me feel good about my decision. I liked the compact SUV due to its power and safety, very good for your city drive and also intercity. The engine is good, you get good force on the highway, and despite that the mileage is good. I would say, this Sonet is an ideal choice for anyone not wanting to spend a lot of money but want an SUV with enough features.

  • Value for money sub compact SUV

    Originally I was looking to buy the Creta but bought home the Sonet which wasn’t even in my list. But after a test drive I just liked this Kia subcompact SUV that it offers as a whole package at SAT 80k. I got the 1.5L variant that gives me 115 hp power with 6-speed CVT, enough for mostly city use, and serves well for highway trips. Kia is offering several safety features. I find them very useful and amusing that are available in this price segment. Overall happy owner of Sonet.

  • A value-for-money compact SUV.

    After a close tie-up with Seltos, my budget forced me to go with Sonet, naturally I wanted a bigger car and was not sure what compromise it would become. However, I’m happy that this smaller version of the Korean sibling is an equally exciting car. I believe the 1.4-liter engine is very well refined, and its performance exceeded my expectations. The peak power of 115hp is quite enough for the size of this car, I never really felt under power, even during some of my highway trips. Actually, with a very modest price, you’re getting a lot with this compact SUV.

  • Practical and Smart Choice Kia Sonet

    KIA sonet is a great compact SUV with loads of practicality. The car has many great features in its segment. The car comes with a good ground clearance which helps in getting from off road easily. The car comes with a 1.5 litre 4 cylinder engine which produces 115 horsepower which is adequate while riding in cities or going on long journeys. The car comes with a 10.25 inch entertainment screen with both surround sound systems. The interior is comfortable and a sunroof is available. The car has many safety features which are great for its segment such as forward collision warning and lane keeping assist.
