Kia Sonet X Line is offered by South Korean automaker Kia in the compact SUV segment. This SUV offered by the company is very much liked in India. We drove the top variant of this SUV, Kia Sonet X-Line Diesel Automatic variant for more than a week. For whom can buying this SUV in diesel prove to be beneficial. We are telling you in this news.
How is the design Kia Sonet X Line
Along with the update in the car, changes have been made in its front and rear, after which it has become much better to look at. Apart from this, the interior of the SUV also gives a very premium feel.
Although it is offered by the company in the sub four meter segment, but it is a spacious car from inside. Three people can easily travel sitting on its back seat. Apart from this, Kia Sonet X Line also has a very good boot space. Trunk light is also provided in the boot, which makes it very easy to use at night. Due to the roof rail, it also looks like a big SUV.
How powerful is the engine of Kia Sonet X Line
Kia also offers diesel engine in its Sonet. In which a 1.5 liter CRDi engine is available. With this engine, Kia Sonet X Line gets 114 bhp and 250 Newton meter torque. We drove the Kia Sonet X Line with diesel engine for more than 400 km. After a full tank, our driving was around 150 km in the city amid bumper to bumper traffic.
Apart from this, we also drove it for about 250 km on the highway. We found its performance to be quite good in both city and highway conditions. However, while overtaking on the highway, we initially felt a slight lack of power. But in a few seconds the power increases a lot, due to which overtaking can be done very easily. If you drive this vehicle in sports mode, then its pickup increases a lot.

However, it would be better if the company gives the option of a panoramic roof instead of its single pane sunroof. The company has also provided a 360-degree camera in it. Using this feature makes it very easy while driving in a crowd as well as while parking. Along with the 360-degree camera, its front ventilated seats also provided a lot of relief during the journey during summer.
