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.
Nissan Kicks
- Quality interior: Quality of material, fit & finish inside the cabin is better than other cars in this segment
- Noise insulation: Engine noise, road noise not as audible inside as in siblings (Captur, Duster, Terrano); lifts cabin experience up
- Mature ride: The ride is supple, but not bouncy. It can handle small and large road uncertainties at any speeds with aplomb
- 360-degree parking assist: Cameras at the front, rear, and both sides give an all-around view to ease parking; segment-first feature
- Powerful new 1.3-litre turbo petrol engine makes 156PS/254Nm

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
Nissan Kicks
- Ergonomic issues: Driver’s seat set a little high; particularly uncomfortable for tall drivers. Footwell is too cramped
- Feature misses: No light for passenger vanity mirror. Top variant misses out on auto-dimming interior rearview mirror, powered driver seat and sunroof
- No diesel engine option
