2024 Kia Sonet First Look and Driving impressions -The New Standard in the Segment?

[@jaywalkur]

Here are the updated prices: Kia sonnet lx mt: 758,000 Kia sonnet lx at: 868,000 Kia sonnet ex at: 978,000 Kia sonnet sx ar: 1,138,000

[@thebigcheese6606]

Could do with bigger wheels. Nice otherwise.

[@intlexperts6090]

After more than 2decades Kia Philippines finally has a sales volume seller in its hands. It will give the Chinese brands invaders a run for its money and a head on collision with the Toyota's best small SUV the RAIZE. Specs to specs Kia is the better deal and the EX variant is the way to go at only 978k with 30k discount more. I'm going to get one soon. Nice review Jay.

[@vherpunla9]

My wife already asking me to vist this unit in showrooms. Lol Waiting for your variants comparison. Good review as always Alex! Keep it up! 👏

[@kristinefernandez3639]

Thank you for the review! I’m very excited for my very first car. The unit that I ordered (SX AT in white) will be delivered in the nearest dealer by mid August. I am practicing using my husband’s Ranger and it’s too big for me. This looks perfect for a mother of two like me

[@jvn1004]

@1:42 mas mahaba at malapad po siya kesa kay Raize. I think yung smaller dimension sonet comes from India Spec. Eto yung satin 4,110mm x 1,790mm x 1,642mm

[@dzdsigurd]

so san po galing yung sonet dito?

[@jvn1004]

@@dzdsigurd china. Same factory na pinanggalingan ng Kia Stonic at Seltos

[@paulbenedictbaes7399]

correct lang kita bro buo lang yan sa china pero all parts production korea lahat wala china

[@iamshadowbanned699]

This car is adorable. It would be perfect for a first-time driver. Too bad the top of the line model doesn't have side and curtain airbags.

[@ProfessorCortexiphan]

Been waiting for your review. Appreciate including the handling and lane keep assist test in the review sir. One of the best local car reviewers talaga especially for checking ADAs.

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you

[@Soysoyknows]

@jaywalkur nice review always the best! 👏🏼

[@GeraldGarcia]

For a lot of people (including me) this is all the car we need. 1.5l engine is definitely welcome vs lower displacements/cylinders of others in it's price range. 6-spd manual sounds like it'll be a hoot to drive. My 2 wishes: a manual in SX trim, then some $$$ to be able to buy one.

[@SoJooCars]

New Camera Quality 🫶

[@vonjorel]

Wheres ur vid 😅

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you. The new camera was definitely worth the money!

[@aberranthobo69]

I hope you also review kia sonet

[@grechellopingol]

for the win better than raize

[@rinnegan04]

will you review this? @SoJooCars

[@MrArvirivera]

Ganda ng review sir! Love the video quality and the unbiased perspective.

[@jaywalkur]

Thank you

[@anothersubscriber2024]

Totl lang sana may panlaban sa raize kung variant per variant labanan, tinipid naman sa airbags 🫠

[@BenjieTS]

Cant wait for my SX unit release this August. Will do some vlogs about this car. 😊

[@JunichiSato-lk3dd]

Do you think this car is good for newbie driver with 5’8 height?

[@seimichaelmotocartips3052]

Mas elegant siya tignan.. interior

[@yangmaster24]

this looks good and the price is good as well, if this was released last year, I could be one of my choice

[@streamingvideo6654]

1.2M some time ago can buy you a brand new Tucson or Subaru. But look at where we are now. Shrinkflation is real. :/

[@St3PdOwN2UrL3v3L]

Thanks to Duterte. 1.3 M you can buy a Montero.

[@ajm5261]

1.2M madaming ng 7 seater SUV na pasok. Innova number 1 2.8engine

[@ecowarrior1986]

​@@St3PdOwN2UrL3v3L true bumili kme ng montero 1.3M before na enforce ang excise tax. sulit 1.3 namen it never let us down. Thank God

[@LetsonPaksiw-ts3rx]

in your perspective sir, ano mas ok emzoom TOTL or Seltos TOTL?

[@jordan1213yetbo]

this rivals the MG ZS MCE 2024,but MG has more torque and engine power wider longer and taller...its up for the buyer to choose...i like em both MG or KIA?

[@turquoise806]

giving Toyota (Raize) a run for its money!

[@kylesantos1527]

Only thing I dont like about this car is the side profile with those dwarf lookin wheels, other than that its pretty great

[@paologonzales4516]

Good looking Crossover

[@randomguyspost394]

This or gs3 Emzoom?

[@briancaroll1194]

Iyak mga nkabili agad ng raize hehe

Fuel Consumption?

[@thedooarslane...7821]

Which variant is this Name plz

[@cordonjd5997]

Wala bang full review ng manual version?

[@noy.sulober]

Hindi standard on all variants ang ESC at Hill-start assist, sa top of the line lang. Most cars sa ngayon standard ang ganung safety features.

[@aprilqueenciecamacho5921]

Can you please clarify if this has CVT or was it IVT?

[@poordoy1150]

IVT is hyundai's version of CVT maam. All hyundai's CVT are named IVT.

[@erostyler6226]

IVT does not use belts but rather a chain. it is configured to shift gears more responsively with less delay or lag resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable ride while having better fuel efficiency. Patented po siya ng Hyundai at Kita kaya dapat IVT tawag sa kanya, a different form of CVT.

[@tonytirona]

Sir yarisx or this.

[@tonytirona]

Sir ok ba sa hway

[@Les_Fuentes]

Sana meron dn review sa lx mt

[@MICHAELANGELODALISAY]

It,s very nice car review

[@lyoidjims]

Those air vents though👀

[@carbuncle1977]

i home someone would review the Kia sonnet lx at variant.

[@Pakar20]

Saan makakabili ng accessories for kia sonet? Window visor, side step, garnish set, roof rails?

[@jckksierra695]

Shopee marami

[@_TheUninvited]

Continuously Variable Transmission Transmission?

[@jaywalkur]

Yes. Kia calls it IVT

[@_TheUninvited]

​@jaywalkur yes but you call it CVT Transmission. Redundant

[@caielesr]

@@_TheUninvited IVT is a CVT. But not all CVTs are IVTs

[@mmderla.87]

Slightly shorter than the raize??

[@arcaine101]

Other reviewers have this with non adaptive cruise control.

[@jaywalkur]

Yes it has non adaptive cruise control

[@wilsonremolar2334]

Is thiis an ex variant?

[@jaywalkur]

This is the top of the line sx

[@woodslang7477]

Kia 💯🔥👍👍👍

[@JustAnotherRandomGamer]

Meanwhile, Honda offers the small Brio lacking a lot of tech for over 800k pesos 😢

[@basophil9178]

Chinese vs korean i would pick korean brand cars.

[@noelmercado5252]

It's wider and taller but not longer than the stonic

[@marloncanas6221]

Really a bummer that Kia deprived us of the Diesel variant of Sonnet. I was so ready to jump on the bandwagon when I first heard about this Kia model coming to the Philippines especially with the diesel variant.

[@ji1ro0]

what's with the love for diesel when every other new car is already being transitioned to a hybrid/EV?

[@venielbretana8240]

@@ji1ro0 probably fuel effeciency and fuel price

[@St3PdOwN2UrL3v3L]

Hindi ba mukhang Stonic lang?

[@haru-10th]

ang layo. yung Stonic mukhang Rio, etong Sonet mukhang Seltos.
