Kia Sonet: here are the real world mileage figures

The most common question asked before buying a car is ‘kitna deti hai?’ We give you the real world figures of the new Kia Sonet powered by the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine.

The Kia Sonet surely created quite a buzz when launched in India. The Kia Sonet takes on the likes of the Hyundai Venue, Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza, Tata Nexon and the Ford EcoSport among other compact SUVs. Kia offers multiple engine and transmission options with the Sonet. But the one we are testing is the 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine which is tuned to offer 120bhp and 172Nm of torque. The motor is mated to a new generation Dual Clutch Transmission which sends power to the front wheels. Here are the details of the real world efficiency figures one can expect from the Kia Sonet. Real world fuel efficiency figures Kia claims that the Kia Sonet automatic offers an ARAI certified mileage of 18.31kmpl. However in our fuel efficiency test, we got very different results. In the city run, the Kia Sonet offered 14.82kmpl which is quite a healthy number. But things got even better when we did the highway test. The Kia Sonet returned a magic figure of 21.52kmpl on the highway. Overall the figure stood at 15.48kmpl. Now considering the SUV comes with a 45 litre fuel tank, the Kia Sonet will be able to do around 696km before it needs a refill.
