KIA Sonet HTX 2021 road trip!

[@arunendrapreeti]

Wonderful

[@fakentrider]

Good one. However, I feel it would be better if you can lower the background music while you are talking. Somewhat of a personal opinion though :) .Btw ... somehow I have a feel that you are a Bangali ? What about the rear seat leg room space? Is it good ?

[@AforArtistic]

Haha, sure. Thanks for the input. Will try to incorporate clear voice next time. Btw did you see the new one? I bet you'll love it even more. :) Ps : Yes a proud bengali this side. :)

[@fakentrider]

​@@AforArtistic Yes the new video is awesome and so are your sketches .Your voice is loud and clear enough but the background music in this one somehow made it difficult to listen you which I find has been sorted in the next video. Keep up the good work and all the best.

[@AforArtistic]

@@fakentrider Thanks Shuvayu. That's the plan. Also working in better voice integration. Btw do share with your like-minded friends. :)

[@fakentrider]

@@AforArtistic Already done that ! Also, do you mind telling me couple of things about the Sonet. 1. I have seen numerous videos about the rear seat leg space not being that great ? Is it really so. 2. Does the stiff suspension create a problem while driving in the cities? Considering the unplanned and unmeasured speed breakers and potholes in Kolkata?

[@AforArtistic]

@@fakentrider Here's what I felt : 1. Rear leg space is good for less than 6 feet tall. 2 adult and one kid can sit easily in back. 2. You will feel the potholes for sure if you don't go below 20. Suspension is harder but is good and reduces the body roll in highway. Gives confidence. I may add a video on this too soon.

[@muhammadghafoor113]

Bro I've two question for you 1.How much total on road price in this model? 2.I am planning to buy sonet htx plus turbo petrol imt variant. And my height is 4.9 ft??? can i go for sonet? Please share your opinion brother.

[@AforArtistic]

In Bangalore on-road comes to 12-13 lakh. I bought special accessories. This is HTX imt petrol turbo. And if your height is below 6 you would be satisfied with back seat. So no issues there. For mileage I posted a new video see that. And I would say go for GTX , if you already have budget for htx plus. Difference is pretty less.

[@muhammadghafoor113]

@@AforArtistic oh thank you bro thanks for your reply. I am planning to buy kia sonet htx plus turbo petrol imt white colour. And my usage is day to day daily and occasionally take on highway thats all bro👍

[@napster005]

Hey ..can u suggest a good shop or place to get accessories in bangalore..I have a GT line..I m just looking for some cosmetic updates for my car like spoilers, skirts! ..

[@AforArtistic]

I don't know any specific shop. The accessories I got was from the showroom, and I configured it myself what all I needed. I will make a video on that. Don't take the kit they give you for 20000/-. Choose what all you need.

[@napster005]

@@AforArtistic yes I currently chose only mudflaps😄

[@prashantmohit]

What is the best agency to get Sonet in Bangalore?

[@AforArtistic]

There isn't anything as such which is the best! All of them will see their benifit first. Whichever is closest to you and has an associated service centre would be best for for you.

[@prashantmohit]

@@AforArtistic Thx for the reply 👍

[@razoredge941]

How long was the waiting period after booking?

[@AforArtistic]

Too much. I booked in Jan, got in June. Almost 6 months.

[@razoredge941]

@@AforArtistic what was initial delivery estimate?

[@AforArtistic]

@@razoredge941 3-4 months.

[@krutharthchamanagiri4709]

Can a 5.5 person comfortably drive sonet with better visibility?

[@AforArtistic]

Absolutely. You can adjust the height of the driving seat.

[@siddharthapran7231]

How is gear shifting, is it smooth enough Reverse gear shift is smooth or hard

[@AforArtistic]

Reverse gear may take sometime to get accustomed to. Thoda time lag sakta h. Gear shifting is very smooth, don't press brake or accelerator while shifting, then it can become hard.

[@siddharthapran7231]

@@AforArtistic already driven 600 km s, but reverse gear needs a hard push. Others are smooth enough

[@AforArtistic]

@Siddhartha Pran You need to press the under-gear-stick-button completely before doing the movement. Even I faced it in beginning, because of pressing half jaldibazi me. Now it feels smooth. :)

[@anilkumartpvideo]

Engine heating problem ?

[@AforArtistic]

Not felt. Continuous driving on low gear can cause that.

[@FayazKhan-im5fh]

What is the mileage in city and on road

[@AforArtistic]

Hello Fayaz, for mileage there is another video which talks about highway mileage. Probably you'll like it. And to answer you in short 12-14 in city, 18 in highway in petrol imt.

[@siddharthapran7231]

Is internet is working while connect to Android Auto wireless ly Please tell me procedure if yes

[@AforArtistic]

Yes. It works, you just need to have the mobile data enabled in your phone. Keep wifi, bluetooth and mobile data on while connecting to android auto (phone projection) in the Head Unit(Infotainment system).

[@siddharthapran7231]

I am using redmi note 9 pro max, but when I connect to wireless Android Auto, internet does not work

[@siddharthapran7231]

Which Phone you are using

[@AforArtistic]

@@siddharthapran7231 I am using Samsung S20FE . You can solve it easily by enabling dual network settings preference , find it in wifi settings. Switch to mobile data if wifi is slow or has not internet/ prefer mobile data if wifi is slow, enable that.

[@sohammaibongsa7661]

Hello Brother how is the suspension of sonet in the rough terrain

[@AforArtistic]

It is hard. Gives confidence on highway in speed but sudden potholes will be felt inside the cabin. But if you go slow it is comfortable.

[@sohammaibongsa7661]

And what if there is a rough patch of around 10-15kms how would be the ride comfort

[@AforArtistic]

@@sohammaibongsa7661 Yes, it works pretty well there.

[@nishantbhandari5023]

How is suspension is suspension still stiff as 2020

[@nishantbhandari5023]

And how does it perform in offroad

[@AforArtistic]

Suspension is stiff still. They dint make any noticeable change there in 2021 model. But vehicle is pretty off-road capable thanks to huge ground clearance and traction control addition. Just you need to keep the speed slow. Btw did you get a chance to see the newer video?

[@Wizard_of_failures]

Bro is the rear seat really that bad as the people are making it look like ? Have you tried sitting 3-4 people in the back ?

[@AforArtistic]

Depends on people. 2 people in the back is comfortable(this I did). 3 is adjustable. 4 is jabardasti. If you're family's height profile is below 6 then go for it.

[@ravidhage3320]

Built quality अच्छी नही है यार ,,,,ठुके तो कही मर मरा नही जाना ,,,,,

[@AforArtistic]

Haanji Ravi, waise naye videos dekha kya?

[@vikasvicky9017]

Bro what average ur getting

[@AforArtistic]

I'm getting 18.1 in highway and 12-14 in city. Check the newer video, I mentioned about the mileage there!

[@cuocsongma8063]

hide license plate is 👎

[@AforArtistic]

Haha true, next video onwards didn't do it! Hopefully you saw them ;)

[@shiredesai]

Nice video ...👍👍 I liked peaceful day at Nandi hills. I think you visited Nandi hills mid of week..am I right?😊 My story, When I desided to buy car, Kia Sonet HTX MT Diesel was my 1st selection. But after visiting kia showroom , I booked Kia Seltos HTE diesel, base version😀. Reason is simple👉 Get ‘SUV’ but not ‘compact’ Suv at Same price. And Seltos HTE diesel has all wheel disc brakes and 3 people can sit comfortably at back seat for long trip. And Power of Seltos is 115PS and 250Nm torque can cruise effortlessely, compared to 100ps with 240 NM torque of Sonet. These reasons are good enough to switch my decision within minute..!!😁 Yes I made compromise with sunroof of sonet and cruise control..!! But my driving skill is good enough to beat this cruise control feature.!! Any day..!😉

[@AforArtistic]

Haha sure! Actually it depends on the person who drives it. If you love it , that's all matters! :) Btw did you see the latest video of cubbon park?

[@shiredesai]

Yes I just watched your cubbon park video. Well shooted video👌. Soothing back music. Few months back, visited cubbon park at dawn with my MTB bicyle. Enjoyed every corner of this beautiful park with cycle ride. Dawn is the best time to visit this park👍.
