The Kia Sonet X-Line has just been launched by Kia Motors. Prices for the 1.0 turbo petrol version ex-showroom start at Rs. 13.39 lakh, and prices for the 1.5 turbo diesel version start at Rs. 13.99 lakh. The top automatic trims serve as the foundation for both variations of the Kia Sonet X-Line. The Kia Sonet receives a visual upgrade with the X-Line trim. The Matte Graphite paint scheme, Sage dual tone interiors, new 16-inch alloy wheels, a gloss black grille, and art leather sports seats with orange stitching are all included in the X-Line upgrade. The Sonet is a popular sub-4 meter compact SUV in India, and the X-Line trim is designed to keep the car exciting and new for holiday car buyers.
Kia Sonet X-Line Engine & Powetrain
The Sonet X-1 Line’s liter, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine produces a maximum of 172 Nm of peak torque and 118 Bhp of maximum power. The front wheels are propelled by a 7-speed twin-clutch automatic transmission that goes with this engine. The 1.5 litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine that powers the Sonet X-Line produces 115 bhp and 250 nm of torque. With this engine, a torque converter automatic gearbox with 6 speeds is available.
Kia Sonet X-Line Specs & Features
The Kia Sonet X-Line offers the same features as the top-tier GT line trim terms features. Automatic LED headlights, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a 10.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, multiple driving modes, connected car features, voice commands, steering-mounted audio and cruise control, a semi-digital instrument cluster, an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable and foldable wing mirrors, wireless charging, an air purifier, and central armrests at the front and rear are all standard. Six airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, hill hold, speed alerts, seat belt reminders, front and rear parking sensors with cameras, and speed alerts are just a few of the safety features available.
Kia Sonet X-Line Bookings and Rivals
Bookings for the 2022 Sonet X-Line are currently being accepted at all Indian Kia dealerships. Customers can reserve the SUV online as well. Kia sells additional X-Line models in addition to the Sonet. The Seltos is additionally available in X-Line trim. The Seltos is a significantly larger SUV than the Sonet and comes with a stronger 1.4-liter turbo petrol engine as an option. The top-end trims of the Sonet and Seltos, however, use the same 1.5-liter diesel engine. In the sub-4 meter compact SUV market, the Kia Sonet is in direct competition with the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Renault Kiger, Mahindra XUV300, and Nissan Magnite. Although the Sonet can accommodate five people, it works best with four people because the back bench can get quite cramped.
