Pros and Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet

Looks better than before with a better lighting setup.
Added features, borrowed from a segment above, make it the most loaded SUV in its segment.
Most number of powertrain options in the segment, with 3 engines and 4 transmission options to choose from.
One of the best all rounders in the segment.

Nissan Magnite

Smartly designed sub-compact SUV. Very well proportioned
Spacious and practical cabin. A good SUV for the family
Comfortable ride quality. Bad roads can be tackled with confidence
Turbo petrol engine offers good driveability and punch.
Impressive features list

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 for added comfort.

Nissan Magnite

Fitment quality is decent but not premium. Doesn’t feel as rich inside as a Sonet/Venue/XUV300
Not an exciting or fun to drive car, even with the turbo petrol engine
No diesel engine option
Nissan’s sales and service network is currently lagging behind the competition
