- Powertrain options: 3 engines, including diesel and 5 transmission options to choose from
Tata Nexon
- Futuristic design with interesting details: LED daytime running lamps and tail lamps with animations, 16-inch alloy wheels, and full-LED headlamps. Gives it great road presence
- Has every imaginable feature: panoramic sunroof, front seat ventilation, 360° camera, leatherette upholstery. Feels premium
- Impressive infotainment package: 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch driver’s display and a brilliant JBL sound system
- Options: Various personas, special editions and powertrain options mean there’s something for everyone

Kia Sonet
- Rear seat experience: Limited space for tall adults
