Reviewing the specifications of Kia Sonet / Is the new Kia product of good quality? – Tejarat News

According to Tejarat News, finally, after years of restrictions on car imports, the first models of imported Kia cars are in the showroom of the importing company. Kosha Khodro were exhibited. Among the 10 car models that entered the country last month, only four Kia Seltos, Pegasus, Sonnet and Cerato Automat cars appeared in this showroom.

Now, the question arises that the imported Kia cars that have recently arrived in Tehran are of good quality?

First of all, it should be noted that these imported cars enter the Iranian market in three types: standard, semi-option, and full-option, and the prototypes in Tehran are the standard or low-option versions.

Economic car of global markets

With a glance at the Kia products that were displayed in Tehran, we can see that the importing companies went for the simplest and cheapest cars that every car manufacturing company produced.

It was 2022 when Kia Sonata entered the world markets for the first time. Of course, this car, which was initially produced for the Indian market and eventually reached other markets, along with economical and cheap cars like Kia Pegas and Kia Rio, Suntet is also an economical crossover that has gained a lot of popularity.

The design of this car is simpler than other SUVs such as Sportage and K5; But in general, we are on the side of a beautiful product.

Inspection of Sonnet cabin

The material inside the Kia Sonata is made of dry plastic, but because it has facilities such as a D-cut steering wheel, a standing monitor with an integrated frame behind the amplifier, and a modern design of air conditioning vents, it will look sporty and up-to-date.

Of course, it should be noted that defects such as the manual adjustment of the seat or the fabric covering of the seats in such a car are appreciated. But in general, Kia’s economical crossover offers a satisfactory and acceptable design in accordance with its affordable price.

What engine is the imported Sonnet equipped with?

To date, the Kia Sonata has only been offered with three different engines. The first engine is a 1.0-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine that can be ordered with 6-speed clutchless (AMT) or 7-speed dual-clutch (DCT) transmissions. It should be noted that this one-liter engine is the only Kia Sonata engine that uses GDI technology. Most likely, this version of the Kia Sonata will be released to the Iranian market in greater numbers than other pre-option versions of this car.

Sonnet’s second engine is a 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine, but since this engine comes only with a manual transmission, we probably won’t see it in our country’s market.

The third Sonet engine is a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with MPI technology, and buyers can order a 6-speed manual transmission or a CVT transmission for it.

Are imported cars welcome?

According to the points that have been said, imported cars do not have high quality and technology due to the price restrictions of the importing companies, but it should be taken into account that because the import of cars has been freed after about six years, what about these cars? Whether with high or low quality, it is welcomed by the people of Iran.

Although it is said that they are the only imported cars that enter the Iranian market, but according to the profit of the importing companies, the dollar price and other side costs of car import, these foreign rides are estimated at a price ranging from 1 billion 500 million tomans to 3 billion tomans.
