Kia Sonet: My observations after a 425 km weekend drive

Driving around 90 gives you best mileage and driving above 100 gives lower mileage.

BHPian m2maddy recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Did a weekend drive totaling 425kms, and the following are the observations with 2 adults and a child with full boot loaded

Positives

• Ventilated seats are a boon, it's not excellent, but it is sufficient to keep your back cool during these hot drives which helps.
• Rear sun blinds are a must with this hot sun and help a lot
• Seats are very comfortable, no strain even if you drive for hours continuously
• NVH is excellent, driving around 90 gives you the best mileage, and driving above 100 gives lower mileage, overall with city + highway (15-85) got an overall 14.8kmpl with a lot of kms above 100 as well and city traffic in Bengaluru considered also
• Boot took in 3 check-in suitcases, + 3 small backpacks as well (very happy with it)

OKish

• Family felt rear ac throw is not great, need to check during service
• Felt headlight throw is not excellent, need to get that checked during service
• Not great steering feedback, manageable but not great.
