The Kia Sonet is a subcompact SUV built for city driving, offering a practical five-seat cabin, modern connectivity, and manageable ownership costs. Prices in Saudi Arabia start from SAR 68,730 for the LX (Base) and rise to SAR 93,330 for the EX Full (Top).
The 2026 Sonet runs a 1.5 L petrol engine delivering 115 hp, paired with an CVT gearbox. It carries 5 passengers and is competitive on fuel efficiency for its class. The entry LX (Base) covers the essentials — touchscreen, air conditioning, and basic driver aids — while the EX Full (Top) steps up to a more complete package with additional comfort and safety features, making it the better long-term ownership proposition for buyers who plan to keep the car.
Pros: the Sonet's interior fit and finish is noticeably better than many rivals at this price, and the full top trim offers technology features that rivals charge significantly more for. The Kia warranty provides strong after-sales coverage. Cons: the CVT gearbox prioritises smoothness over responsiveness, which can feel unhurried when pulling onto fast roads. Cargo space is adequate for daily use but tighter than entry-level family crossovers.
2023 Sonet examples have been transacting around SAR 46,000 on the used market — representing a meaningful saving against new pricing for budget-conscious buyers.
Buyers also commonly consider the Hyundai Venue, Nissan Kicks, and Toyota Raize — subcompact SUVs in a similar price bracket serving comparable urban and family use cases. The Sonet competes well on interior quality and trim value, particularly at the top-spec level.
