When choosing a compact SUV, mileage is often one of the most important factors especially for drivers in Bengaluru, where daily traffic can affect fuel efficiency. The Kia Sonet stands out not only for its design and comfort but also for delivering impressive real-world mileage across its petrol and diesel variants.
Let’s explore how the Kia Sonet performs in everyday driving conditions and what you can expect from its fuel efficiency.
Petrol Variants: Ideal for City Commuters
For city-based drivers who travel short distances daily, the petrol engine options of the Sonet offer a refined and responsive drive.
In Bengaluru’s stop-and-go traffic, you can expect a practical mileage that balances performance with convenience.
The petrol Sonet is perfect for professionals and families who primarily drive within the city and prefer smoother, quieter rides.
Diesel Variants: Built for Long Drives and Efficiency
If your routine includes longer drives or weekend trips beyond the city, the diesel-powered Sonet delivers exceptional efficiency and torque.
Whether you’re driving to Nandi Hills or Mysuru, you can expect strong performance with impressive highway mileage.
It’s the go-to option for those who value power and fuel savings during long-distance journeys.
Automatic vs Manual: Choosing the Right Transmission
The manual variants of the Sonet are often slightly more fuel-efficient and preferred by drivers who enjoy hands-on control.
Meanwhile, the iMT and automatic options provide convenience, especially in heavy traffic areas like Outer Ring Road or Whitefield, with only a small difference in mileage.
Your driving pattern will determine which option gives you the best balance between comfort and efficiency.
Real-World Mileage in Bengaluru Conditions
In real driving situations with Bengaluru’s frequent traffic stops, varying speeds, and occasional long routes the Sonet delivers mileage that meets expectations across both engine types.
Consistent maintenance, timely servicing, and gentle driving habits can further improve efficiency, making it one of the most practical compact SUVs for city life.
