Kia Motors India has launched the Kia Sonet sub-four-metre SUV in India today. The Kia Sonet will be available in a slew of engine and variants, but only certain combinations of engines and variants can be had. We've listed out all the variants of the Kia Sonet, with the features they offer and their prices.

The Kia Sonet will also come with one of the widest selections of engines and gearboxes of any car in the country. There will be two petrol engines and one diesel motor on offer.  One of the petrols is the Kappa T-GDI 1.0-litre turbo. This three-cylinder motor makes 120PSout 1 and 172Nm. This will be paired with two gearboxes, a  seven-speed dual-clutch automatic and the new iMT clutchless manual that recently debuted in the Hyundai Venue.

The other petrol motor, for lower-spec cars, is the 1.2-litre petrol with 83PS and 116Nm, paired with a five-speed manual. The single diesel option is the 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo diesel motor which puts out 100PS and 240Nm, paired with a six-speed manual. The diesel engine will also be paired with a torque converter automatic, a segment first. In this iteration, the diesel Kia Sonet puts out 115PS and 250 Nm.
