                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.

                  Maruti XL6

                  • The redesigned front face packs more attitude and offers better road presence.
                  • New safety and premium features are a welcome addition
                  • Captain seats are large and comfortable
                  • Spacious 3rd row
                  • High claimed fuel efficiency of 20.97kmpl (MT) and 20.27kmpl (AT)
                • 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

                  Maruti XL6

                  • Some useful features like automatic day/night IRVM, rear window blinds and rear cup holders are still missing.
                  • No diesel option
                  • Curtain airbags for rear occupants should have been part of the safety features.
