The Kia Sonet remains a popular choice in India’s compact SUV segment in 2025, thanks to its stylish design, feature-rich cabin, and reliable performance. Powered by three engine options—a 1.2L petrol, 1.0L turbo-petrol, and 1.5L diesel—the Sonet offers versatile driving dynamics. The ARAI-rated mileage ranges from 18.6 km/l to 22.3 km/l, making it a fuel-efficient option.

However, due to high demand, the Kia Sonet now has a waiting period of 2 to 5 months, varying by variant, transmission, and city. In metro cities like Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, higher-end models and automatic variants face longer delivery times. In smaller cities, buyers may receive their vehicles sooner, with an average wait of around 2 to 3 months.

The on-road price ranges from ₹8.98 lakh to ₹18.46 lakh in Delhi, depending on the variant. For the most accurate delivery timelines, prospective buyers are advised to consult local dealerships or refer to the ACKO Drive waiting period list for city-specific details.
