                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 Magnite

                  • Use of soft touch leatherette padding on all touch points makes the cabin feel a lot more premium
                  • Safety kit has been improved by the availability of 6 airbags from the base-spec variant
                  • It has one of the best performing CVTs under Rs 10 lakh
                  • In its segment, it has one of the most spacious rear seats
                • 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 Magnite

                  • Turbo-petrol engine is not so refined which results in vibrations that can be felt in the footwell, on the steering wheel, and on the seats
                  • While the leatherette padding makes the cabin feel more premium, the flimsy AC knobs, and panel gaps have a negative impact on the overall cabin experience
                  • The feature list still feels pretty small and no major additions were made with the facelift
                  • The 360-degree camera has a grainy feed which is very hard to see in low light conditions
