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
MG Hector
- The big grille and chrome elements can be too blingy for some buyers
- No automatic transmission with the diesel engine
- Should have had better contoured seats and underthigh support at the rear
- Fuel efficiency of the petrol engine is still an issue
