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
Toyota Taisor
- Good drive experience: Offers a good balance between ride and handling along with a peppy 1-litre turbo-petrol engine
- Decent space: One 6-footer can sit behind another with ease
- Looks different: The face has enough styling changes to distinguish it from the Maruti Fronx
- It also gets a better warranty package than the Fronx and will have a better resale value

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
Toyota Taisor
- Needs a different cabin: The cabin design and even the colour scheme is the same as the Maruti Fronx
- Few missing features: leatherette seat covers with ventilation and sunroof
- Less rear headroom: While a 6-footer can sit in the back with enough legroom, the headroom will just be average
- Needs better cabin quality: Plastic texture on the dashboard does not feel on par with the segment
