Kia-Sonet-Tech-Line-Front-Profile
The
Kia Sonet
recently made its debut in India in production form with the launch coming up next month. The Sonet will be
available in
six trim levels
–
five in the standard Tech Line spec
, and
one with the sporty GT Line
cosmetic pack. The Tech Line variants on offer will be the
entry-level HTE, HTK, HTK+, HTX, and HTX+
while the GT Line will be available solely in the
fully-loaded GTX+.
And we are here to explain to you
the differences between the Tech Line and the GT Line.
[gallery size="full" ids="20305,20302"]Let us start with the differences on the exterior on both the lines. Apart from a badge on the grille,
the Sonet GT Line gets
red accents on the signature ‘Tiger Nose’ grille, a different design for the front air intake, red accents for the lip, wheel center caps and at the base of the doors, red brake calipers (front only), and a black rear bumper with a red highlight for the chrome-lined faux exhaust finish.[gallery size="full" ids="20433,20432"]On the inside, the most noticeable difference is the color scheme –
the GT Line has an all-black interior with GT Line logos and contrast red stitching for the seats, gear lever, and steering wheel.
Depending on the variant,
the Sonet Tech Line will have an all-black interior, or a black-and-beige interior with silver surrounds for the AC vents.

The Sonet Tech Line will be available across the board with more variants to choose from the base HTE to a well-kitted-out HTX+, while the GT Line will only be available in one fully-loaded GTX+ form.
The Kia Sonet HTX+ – the highest version in the Tech Line – is almost on par with the GTX+ on equipment
, but misses out on
6 airbags (Tech Line models only get 2 airbags), front parking sensors and wireless smartphone charging.
[gallery size="full" ids="20307,20301"]In terms of powertrain, there are
a total of three engine and five gearbox options
for the Kia Sonet, and all of those are
available with the Tech Line models
. The
GT Line
as of now can only be had with the 1
.0-liter turbo-petrol paired to a 6-speed iMT or a dual-clutch automatic transmission
that makes 120 bhp and 172 Nm of peak torque and a 1.5-liter diesel engine that makes 100 bhp and 240 Nm of torque when paired with the 6-speed manual, and a meatier 115 bhp and 250 Nm of torque when paired with the 6-speed automatic.[gallery size="full" ids="20306,20303"]The naturally-aspirated
1.2 petrol making 82 bhp and 115 Nm torque will only be available in HTE, HTK, and HTK+ trims
; the
1.0-liter turbo-petrol is available HTK+ onwards
, while both automatic options – the
7-speed DCT (turbo-petrol) and 6-speed torque converter auto (turbo-diesel) – will be offered in the mid-spec HTK+
. The
iMT
will be available with all variants
except for the base HTE and HTK trims.
The Sonet will be rivaling the likes of
Suzuki Vitara Brezza
,
Hyundai Venue
,
Tata Nexon
,
Ford EcoSport
and
Mahindra XUV300
.
