On-road price breakup (Bengaluru, estimate)₹11.18 L
| ₹9,28,900 | |
Road tax (lifetime)Karnataka charges 14% of the invoice price, plus 11% cess on that tax and a ₹1,000 cess. The applicable slab applies to the whole vehicle price, not only the amount above its threshold. | ₹1,45,351 |
Registration, HSRP & smart card (estimate)₹2,860 is a budgeting allowance for registration, high-security plates, smart card and processing; it is not a verified itemised RTO fee schedule. | ₹2,860 |
Insurance (planning estimate)Planning estimate, not an insurer quote: 1-year own damage at 2.48% of ex-showroom (GST included), plus the notified 3-year third-party base and one annual TP premium allowance, with 18% GST. The Supreme Court directed 4-year TP cover on 4 August 2026; a notified 4-year tariff has not been verified. Confirm the policy term and final premium. Owner-driver personal accident cover and add-ons are extra unless already covered. | ₹39,623 |
FASTag & misc.FASTag and small documentation charges. | ₹850 |
| On-road total | ₹11,17,584 |
- • Insurance includes an estimated extra annual TP allowance following the four-year-cover direction; its final tariff and policy term need an insurer quote. Calculation and sources.
- • Not included: owner-driver personal accident cover, add-ons, accessories, extended warranty and dealer handling or logistics charges. Ask for an itemised written quote before comparing the final amount.

All 23 current combinations match Kia’s Delhi/N10 configurator price feed and the 2026 brochure’s powertrain matrix. GTX+ dual-tone adds ₹10,000. Ex-showroom figures use that location; Bengaluru on-road totals are estimates, not Kia quotations. Brochure equipment takes precedence over reused website components. The feed includes obsolete engine/colour metadata; only current priced variant rows are used. Certified mileage is unverified; ownership efficiency is estimated. Colour swatches are illustrative and availability varies by trim.
Brochures establish specifications and trim equipment; price sources are identified below. On-road prices, real-world efficiency, running costs and buying verdicts are Let’s Pick My Car estimates or opinions. “Not verified” means the reviewed sources do not settle that fact. Source-check dates are distinct from document publication dates. Pricing assumptions and rule sources.

Official manufacturer source · Checked
Current powertrain availability, engine kW/torque, eight-trim equipment ladder, dimensions, tyres and colours. Page 8 visually read; page 9 supplies VDA/height footnotes. No printed publication month found.
- Kia Sonet current configurator price feed (Delhi)
Official manufacturer source · Checked
23 current manufacturer codes and mono-tone ex-showroom prices; two GTX+ dual-tone alternatives, ₹10,000 extra. Uses nested M/N prices, not the zero-valued generic price fields. Equipment is not inferred from metadata.
- Kia Sonet specifications
Official manufacturer source · Checked
Current eight trim names and price-feed integration; base trim heights. Static price text can be stale or mismatched to the selected code, so current configurator prices take precedence.
