Even the sound system doesn't fully mask the wind noise 😅but I guess it's a budget SUV 🤷 Great review as always!

Yeah, will forgive it for that Vincent, the fact that it is entry level. Thank you so much Vincent🙂🫶🏾

How’s it Mpho? Great review as always. I honestly thought this Sonet was gonna be better than the outgoing one. My wife and I considered it as we finally wanted to trade in the Kia Rio, the 2 airbags were a no from me, then those manual aircon controls on lower models, including the 1.0T variant which is the only one we wanted for obvious reasons, coming from a Rio that lacked power and a turbo engine. Sonet would excel if the Chinese cars were not there, I wouldn’t touch the Magnite, too many problems from owners.

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

Sizwe my brother, I am well, hope you are too. I could not agree more, I would not trade in the Rio for the Sonet honestly. The Chinese have already infiltrated the market it in a disruptive way and the Sonet, as good as it is, will definitely get a challenge from what they offer on the other side. It is quality though yoh🔥

At 366 competing with corrola cross hmm, Should be against fronx... Mm not sure but looks premium.. Nice cvt

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

Looks and feel premium compared to the others, just has less features at it's price point and that's my only issue.

@arabelachilwane7010 Ай бұрын

Hi Sebuwa. Really helpful. I’m really caught between this and the Suzuki Fronx and hoping to make a decision by end of week. Can you help? Maybe there are even better alternatives. I was set on the sonet but this has me a little worried

@sebuwam 23 күн бұрын

Oh apologies for late response. Eish, based on pricing I think Fronx is a bettee option. This is good quality overall but it lacks a lot of things at its price point and Fronx will sort that out with less money at R354K

I would take this kia cvt than the toyota one, which screams and holds the revs up. At least, this one simulates a normal auto box.

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

💯💯. You are on the money, this is a proper CVT, reminds me of Chery CVT, Toyota and Nissan's ones are loud and make the engine scream yoh

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

Yep, it is actually selling ey. It is a quality car but people are shopping differently these days and you need to compete in a smart way. Features honestly sell🤔

@zeed5764 Ай бұрын

Just buy the Baleno, Cross or Fronx and go home with extra cash...If you don't need ground clearance, the Baleno / Starlet is amazing for features. Keyless entry, Climate Control, leather steering, full LEDs, Footwell and Puddle lighting plus see me home lighting. Kia is doing a VW on us now...

@janvusi1407 Ай бұрын

Kia is a great car and practically speaking you hardly see them accidents caused by kia cars.

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

Arguable as the Sonet is much more quality, you can feel it even when you get in but the reality is that features sell more these days, so I hear you there👌🏾

Yoh, these days even at R280K, Swift has LEDs but I guess the quality of the car justifies not being able to include some of those at this price point.

The pricing is just ridiculous I changed my mind in 2021 when I was getting this car and went for Jolion. I just don't like CVT and Sonet is just empty there's no features there.

@sebuwam 23 күн бұрын

At that point Jolion was risky, only a few knew that it was a steal, I know it back then and even today I would pick Jolion over Sonet🙂

@MixoMakamu Ай бұрын

KIA prices are ridiculous, they are pricing themselves out of the market. All the segments it's competing against are way cheaper than this. Soon they will discontinue this car as they did with RIO.

@sebuwam Ай бұрын

So far it is selling, top 15 best selling cars but I am not sure if it will keep the momentum, the Chinese are coming with everything they have yoh!

@MixoMakamu Ай бұрын

@@sebuwam Yeah, seems like they launching every month. KIA should just take a page from Hyundai’s book and start decreasing some of their cars' prices.
