These two latter engines will be had with multiple transmission options – a 6-speed iMT/ 7-speed DCT (for the turbo-petrol motor) and a 6-speed MT/ 6-speed AT (for the diesel-sipping unit). From these, the 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine will be the most powerful of the lot. If the Kia Sonet price suggested by dealers are to be believed, we expect the base trim of the Sonet will be priced from Rs 8 lakh mark.
