Diesel Automatic – Kia Sonet vs Kia Seltos
Kia brand has established quite a name for itself, although, it only entered the country two years ago. The major models which have brought success to the brand are the Seltos and the Sonet. Both these cars give tough competition in their respective segments. However, there are some interesting details, which we have discovered regarding the diesel-automatic variants of these cars. In this article, we will be discussing the diesel automatics of both these cars, and which one should you pick.
Kia Seltos vs Kia Sonet price difference
The Kia Sonet’s GTX+ variant with the 1.5-litre Diesel Automatic starts at Rs 13.09 Lakhs (ex-showroom). On the other hand, the Kia Seltos’ GTX+ variant with the 1.5-litre Diesel Automatic starts at Rs 17.45 Lakhs (ex-showroom). There is a price difference of Rs 4.36 Lakhs.
Power Figures
The Kia Seltos’ diesel automatic unit makes 113.4bhp and 250Nm of torque. The diesel automatic on the Kia Sonet makes 113.4bhp and 250Nm of torque. This clearly shows that the diesel automatic engine is the same on both cars.
Also, the Sonet would be able to generate more usable power since it is around 150kgs lighter than the Seltos.
What do you get extra for the extra price?
The Kia Seltos on the GTX+ variant offers some features over the Kia Sonet’s GTX+ variant. Rear disc brakes, 17-inch tyres, one extra speaker with the BOSE music system, 8-inch HUD, 360-degree parking camera, blind view monitor and 8-way driver power seat are some of the elements which we get to see on the Seltos but not on the Sonet.
Other differences include better space on the inside including the 2nd-row and a bigger boot. Features like air purifier, wireless charging and sunroof are common for both products.
Which one should you buy?
If 2nd-row space is not a major issue, and the user wants just performance with some premium features, the Sonet makes more sense, as the price difference for extra space and some added features increases by Rs 4 Lakh. However, the buying power and final decision lie in the hands of the customers only. It totally depends upon the preference of the user and how they wish to use the product.
