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.
- Kia Sonet official 2026 brochure
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.
- Kia Sonet detailed trim comparison
Official manufacturer source · Checked
Confirms gearbox-qualified sunroof, HTX ventilation, HTK+(O)-only dashcam, wired top-trim projection and Level-1 ADAS. Contains obsolete HTK column, excluded from this guide.
- Kia India iMT explanation
Official manufacturer source · Checked
Clutch pedal-free operation with manual gear-shift control; distinguishes iMT from an automatic.

Official crash-test source · Checked
June 2026 South African two-airbag test and its reported results. Establishes market/equipment differences, not rating applicability to the current Indian range.
