Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet
- Looks better than before with a better lighting setup.
- Added features, borrowed from a segment above, make it one of the most loaded SUV in its segment.
- Most number of powertrain options in the segment, with 3 engines and 5 transmission options to choose from.
- One of the best all rounders in the segment.
Mahindra BE 6
- Stand-out styling that can pull attention away from supercars
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real world range of 400-500km.
- Superb infotainment experience: dual 12.3” screens, Harman/Kardon Audio on offer.
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions.

Kia Sonet
- Borrowing powertrains and features from a segment above has made it pretty expensive.
- Cabin insulation could have been better.
- Turbo-petrol engine option, in Sport mode, feels jerky to drive in traffic.
- Rear seats could have had better cushioning and better space
Mahindra BE 6
- Rear seat headroom for tall users and outward visibility for short users could have been better
- Styling is very polarising and may be too over-the-top for some in your family
