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.
Toyota Taisor
- Offers a good balance between ride and handling
- 1-litre turbo-petrol engine is refined, peppy and fun to drive
- Has decent space on the inside for two six footers sitting back to back
- Better warranty package and after sales experience than the Fronx
- Exterior styling good enough to distinguish it from the Fronx

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
Toyota Taisor
- Dashboard and colour scheme same as the Fronx
- Few missing features: leatherette seat covers with ventilation and sunroof
- Rear headroom is tight, especially for taller occupants
- Plastic texture on the dashboard could have been better
