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.
Tata Curvv
- SUV coupe design demands attention, looks unique
- Large 500-litre boot space is among the best in class
- Feature loaded: panoramic sunroof, 12.3” touchscreen, 10.25” digital driver’s display, JBL sound system, powered driver’s seat on offer.
- Choice of diesel and petrol engines, both available with manual and automatic
- No compromise on safety features: 6 airbags, ABS, electronic stability control offered as standard

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
Tata Curvv
- Interior experience is identical to the new Nexon. Might not appeal to everyone.
- Lack of cupholders and usable storage space in the front.
- Concerns remain over infotainment niggles and lapses in quality control.
