Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet
- Design: Striking styling with sharp LED headlights, snazzy alloy wheel designs, and Matte Graphite shade
- Strong feature package: Dual 10.25-inch screens, 4-way powered driver seat, ventilated front seats and rear sun shades
- Powertrain options: 3 engines, including diesel and 5 transmission options to choose from
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- Comfortable 7-seater family car with usable space and practicality in all rows.
- Ride quality is comfortable over imperfections and regular speedbreakers.
- Available with a CNG: barely any difference in performance within city limits.

Kia Sonet
- Rear seat experience: Limited space for tall adults
- Misses few features compared to segment: Panoramic sunroof, rear seat ventilation and Level-2 ADAS
Maruti Suzuki Ertiga
- No diesel engine options: would’ve been great for efficient highway runs.
- Boot space: Strictly limited to a couple of mid-sized suitcases with all three rows up.
- No tumble and fold function for the second row: would’ve made third row ingress-egress easier.
