Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet

- 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 Punch EV
- Two battery pack options: 25 kWh/35 kWh with real world range of ~200/300 km respectively.
- Feature loaded: twin 10.25” screens, sunroof, ventilated seats, 360° camera
- Fun-to-drive: 0-100 kmph in just 9.5 seconds (long range model)

Kia Sonet
- Borrowing powertrains and features from a segment above has made it pretty expensive.

- Rear seats could have had better cushioning and better space
Tata Punch EV
- Rear seat space is strictly average.
