Which Petrol brand to be used for Turbo petrol engine ?
I own a Kia Sonet 1.0 Turbo Petrol GT-Line 2024 car. Considering the blending of ethanol in fuel, I'm quite concerned and wanted to ensure I keep my engine safe for long run. Please advise which petrol brand to use to keep the engine clean. I'm currently using BP speed petrol.Thanks in advance.
Engine light flash + DPF light
Sonet diesel automatic. Used to get DPF warning light many times solved it either by driving for long distance or by parked self regeneration.
This time DPF light came with engine light that was flashing in two second gaps.
Is it safe to drive anymore as iv read flashing engine light is serious issue.
Is it safe to do parked self regeneration.

The bigger the better?
Hello Everyone,
Please help me what to chose between a diesel altroz top model and Kia Sonet/Venue Diesel
I currently own a 12 year old alto 800 LXI and I really need to upgrade because of mileage drop and overall outdated car
I want diesel only, i see no sense in petrol and EV due to E20 and long trips
So I am fully convinced to buy altroz since it fits perfectly as per my usage- a not so big car with all the modern features that one need but my family thinks a bigger car would be a better choice since we are spending around 12 lakhs. And since we are coming from alto they dont want similar size (according to them) car
I wont mind a bigger car but to have decent features in sonet/venue i will have to pay around 1-2 lakhs more.
Would the extra money and bigger car would make sense?
Booked Kia Sonet HTK(O) Yesterday! First Car - Anything I Should Know Before Delivery?
Hi everyone!
Yesterday I booked my Kia Sonet HTK(O) 1.2 Petrol Manual. This is going to be my first car, so I’m really excited. 😄
After test-driving multiple cars (Sonet, Venue, Nexon, Fronx, Exter, etc.), I felt the Sonet suited me the best in terms of comfort, premium feel, features, and overall driving experience.
Here are the details:
Variant: HTK(O) 1.2 Petrol Manual
On-road price: ₹9.40 lakh
Dealer also agreed to provide floor mats, mud flaps, and rain visors.
I’ll mostly be driving in Himachal Pradesh, so there will be hills, village roads with occasional potholes, and some highway trips to Chandigarh/Jammu.
Before taking delivery, I wanted to ask existing Sonet owners:
Any issues you’ve faced with the 1.2 petrol engine?
What real-world mileage are you getting in city, highways, and hilly areas?
Any must-have accessories apart from the ones I’m already getting?
Anything specific I should check during the Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI)?
Any maintenance or ownership tips for a first-time owner?
Would love to hear your experiences—both good and bad. Thanks in advance!

Sonet Rear AC Cooling
Hi mates,
I own a 2026 make Sonet HTK+ 1L Turbo engine model. The passengers at the rear always complain that the AC cooling at the rear is pretty bad. When I checked the rear AC vents I noticed that even at the highest fan speed the cooling and fan speed at the rear is abnormally low when compared to the front vents.
Has anyone else noticed or faced this same issue? Is this common across Sonet or is this an issue specific to my car?
Help me!!! The suspension sucks
After driving sonet for 10k kms
I drove 2016 innova 2.8g
The suspension on sonet is very very bad for city rides.
The innova suspension is very smooth and doesn’t feel large pot holes and speed breakers…
What should i change in sonet to feel like the innova.

Kia Sonet insurance post 1 year, buy from showroom or external
Hi Everyone
I got a Kia sonet last year, and it has been a good decision. I enjoy driving it, most of the drive is in bangalore traffic though.
It will be one year old soon and it is time to renew the insurance.
First time, i got it from the Kia showroom itsef and now they are reaching out to me again for renewing it with them
Can anyone share their experience on what should be the preferred choice to get the insurance ? Which company should i go ahead with ?
Right now it is from Bajaj General.
Showroom quote for htk o variant. Kerala
Is there any room for more discounts? Thinking of removing accessories tho
Should I buy the extended warranty from kia?
I recently bought Kia Sonnet Htx.
I opt out on extended warranty to save some money , should I buy it please guide!
Odometer Screen Glitching and Disappearing
I have a HTK+ 2022 Sonet Petrol Manual, the car has performed well except for the obvious mileage drop afer this ethanol blending thing but recently my odometer screen has started to glitch, it gets stuck sometimes, sometimes its just blank dark with nothing on it and sometimes it gradually disappears. I am a very tech driven driver so i rely heavily on range, average being displayed on the screen and this issue has made it extremely diffuclt for me to keep track of all this. I know i need to get it checked by KIA Service but i have a long drive coming up tomorrow, from Delhi to Mussorie and back, i am just worried could this be an issue during the drive?
Additionally, bonus points for anyone who can recommend the best KIA service station in Delhi, since my experience has been horrible with KIA service centres.
