Which Kia Sonet variant gives the best mileage?
The HTK+ / HTX 1.5 Diesel MT variant is the most fuel-efficient, returning approximately 18.9 km/l in real-world conditions against an ARAI rating of 22.3 km/l.
What is the fuel tank capacity of the Kia Sonet?

Why is my Kia Sonet giving less mileage than the ARAI figure?
ARAI testing happens in a lab on a chassis dynamometer with the air conditioning off, no passengers and no traffic. Real Indian driving adds AC load, stop-go traffic, passenger weight and cold starts, which together cost 20-30%. A Kia Sonet owner seeing 18.9 km/l is getting an entirely normal result.
What is the running cost of the Kia Sonet per kilometre?
At Delhi prices, the Kia Sonet costs approximately ₹4.64 per kilometre on diesel at its real-world efficiency of 18.9 km/l. Use the fuel cost calculator on this page for your own country, city and driving pattern.
