  • As one of our favourite sub four-metre SUVs, the Kia Sonet scores well in nearly every single department. And while its sales figures might not suggest it, it is our benchmark in the segment. Now though, Mahindra too wants to take a swing for the king with the XUV 3XO. Which of these two compact SUVs will win? Karan Singh finds out.

      If safety is above everything , than let’s conclude that no bikes , rickshaws and tractors are to be allowed to sell in India , infact only criteria should be safety so that no one buys anything below Mercedes and other luxury cars , because even with 5 star in Tata and mahindra they still lack in safety compared to Mercedes and bmw !! You see what I did there ? Who are you to question the benchmark for safety ?? For me it could be bmw for some other could be something else , be empathetic towards people who stretch and buy cars that are not problematic and have quality issues , every one has their own right , yea we need safety cars but it isn’t the only thing

      You can only do your part in not crashing your car right? Having high ratings isn't an invitation to drive at 120+ anyways and people drive at 200 cuz it's gErMaN or its 5 sTaRs💀
      Those are the ones who might just cause these accidents
      And as for the stationary situation, what can you do if you're in a safer car anyways? Dings from behind or ahead at 40-60 won't harm you seriously, now if some idiot T bones you at 120 while crossing a junction, you aren't getting saved, 5 star cars get tested at 30 something kph for side impact. As for front on impacts, depends on luck, but 5 star or not, you're not walking away without whiplash at the least cuz airbags keep the head safe for the most part, what's vulnerable is more the legs and chassis flex, we'll have to wait on a report for that data though

    Just one statement i would respectfully disagree is the safety statement that you gave, its not always your perception towards safety that saves you, a lot of time other might be at fault, which will lead you to a crash , safe car always helps you there. As a big automobile UA-camr, rather than defending the poor built quality of cars, you should have pointed that out, so that viewers can have an unbiased take. If the safety was just a driving behaviour thing then the developed countries wouldn’t have been so strict about it. Please make responsible decisions so that the indian automakers also prioritise this.

But defensive driving exists, and it's not like sonet is a 0 star car.

    2. Performance
    3. Confront
    But these are missing in kia sonet so it gets 8.5/10 only for the looks the point got increased by 2.5.

    Mahindra has significantly enhanced its powertrain and features, although it still falls short in terms of premium perception. Nonetheless, it's commendable to see it achieving comparability. Perhaps, with the forthcoming 4XO model, we can anticipate even greater refinement and a more premium experience.

    Just to add context to MOST OF REPUTED REVIEWERS, they are mostly given the top end variants of every new launched vehicle so as to give their own take to the best of company's offerings. Overall the ordinary middle class man goes on to get updates from these reviewers (just to clear, i am not criticising them for their reviews as they are only giving us points based on the vehicle models they have been given to test) and try to make decisions based on the choices offered by top end variants of vehicles.
    However adding on to that, people who actually want to purchase a new vehicle can only get fair idea about general dynamics of a vehicle atleast for the initial phase till the time deliveries start and other reviewers like DDS and others which offers ownership reviews to give more proper picture on what the average customer is facing.

  • @raktimroy9654

    Powerdrift has truly drifted away from what it used to be. Focusing on gimmicky things and giving brownie points to Sonet for these over actual car features like engine, transmission, handling and safety is not what a automotive channel is supposed to do.

    How can you ignore safety?? We took a test drive of Sonet. The back was rattling whenever we passed over rough or uneven roads. We could hear the rattling sound. The vehicle was very light. It didn’t give the SUV feel at all. Rather an oversized hatchback with loaded features. Took Nexon test drive & the vehicle was heavy, rugged & there was no rattling at the back.

    Personally I don't see NCAP ratings to be a dealbreaker. It's good to have a vehicle with good NCAP ratings but while buying any vehicle you look at the whole package the vehicle is offering not just NCAP ratings. Just because a vehicle has good ratings it doesn't make it a default choice or right for everyone.

You also know all too well with the above two cars specifically that at the mid variant levels the 3XO is more value for money and u have the 5 star rating coupled with that. I think when you mentioned Premium feel for the sonet some premium perfumed used in the sonet must have knocked you off your senses!

    Sonet has very poor rear seats, level 1 ADAS , a questionable DCT (I test drove the new Sonet - and I felt nothing like this reviewer mentioned, it felt like a faster AMT to be honest).
    I am yet to test drive the 3XO , but no way it comes off worse in this comparison.
    May I add that the top end sonet weirdly gets only WIRED Android Auto and Apple Carplay?

    Phew! Looks like everyone are going crazy with ncap and safety. So many facts have to be considered in an accident, what if your airbags doesnt deploy, mahindra will easily escape telling direction of the impact was not towards crash sensor, low impact collisions so airbags dint deploy, company will find loop holes as mahindra has done with few cases. We have seen Cyrus Mistry's Mercedes, kerala skoda octavia crash killed the occupant, Even Range Rovers for that matter have similar cases. Most important thing of all is your " TIME ", if it has to happen it "WILL" at any cost. If TIME is good, even in Wagon R ull be alive, if time is showing its back on you, even armoured vehicle can be coffin boxes.
