Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sorento
- Loaded base variants. No need to spend big money for features.
- Strong safety package: 10 airbags, 360° camera, L2 ADAS ensure peace of mind.
- Petrol-hybrid and diesel engine options offer a balance of performance and mileage.
- Well-built and premium feeling interior gives a luxurious experience.
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Two battery pack options with an estimated real-world range of 400-500km and 175kW DC fast charging compatibility feels reassuring on long road trips
- The strong safety suite includes well-calibrated L2 ADAS. Works well in Indian conditions and very useful in low visibility situations
- Performance: Smooth for regular usage and punchy on highways
- Feature-rich: Triple 12.3-inch displays, 16-speaker Harman/Kardon audio, auto park, and powered and ventilated front seats

Kia Sorento
- Third row is not spacious. Best used by kids or pets
- Steering is light, but lacks feel or feedback. Leaves you guessing on ghat roads
Mahindra XEV 9e
- Rear seat experience could be better: Sloping roofline limits headroom and under thigh support feels less for tall people
