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
Tata Altroz
- Sharp looking - the redesigned grille, flush-fitting door handles, and connected tail lights give it a clean and modern look.
- Great rear seat experience - raised under thigh support and ample legroom offers great space for two average sized adults.
- Feature rich - 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, and an electric sunroof make it a well-equipped hatchback.
- No compromise safety - 6 standard airbags, 360-degree camera, and an already established 5-star safety rating makes it a safe option.
- Only diesel engine option in the segment makes it more appealing to buyers who prioritize fuel efficiency.

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
Tata Altroz
- Fit and finish - many panel gaps on the outside and some flimsy elements inside break the cabin quality’s consistency.
- No diesel automatic option on sale and the diesel is limited to the one-below-top variant.
- Petrol engine gets too noisy under load and has more vibrations than expected.
- Turbo-petrol engine not offered with the facelifted version.
