Hey I have a question : 80% of the time I would be commuting in heavy traffic and want to give my left foot a little rest. So does the DCT heat up and give warning messages in bumper to bumper traffic? Basically is it okay to drive a DCT in heavy traffic or should I go for a CVT or the iMT? I would close my eyes and go for the Torque Converter but I don't want to buy a Diesel. Please help me out! Autocar India
In 3 weeks, I did my first 1,000 Kms in the Sonet (Petrol, automatic, Turbo). What a beautiful experience! Honestly, the backseat is decently sized. We can't get everything from one car. It's ideal for a small family of 4. The boot space is just enough too. I have driven 7 hours straight and no stress at all. What an experience!
I have been observing one thing. Not a single reviewers of cars(specially the car journalist types) have spoken bad about KIA despite the fact that KIA cars have many negatives. They would always speak for them just like their spokespersons. This has done wonders to their sales figures. I think KIA is investing(paying) heavily in India.
Kia Sonet prices are out! The Sonet range starts at Rs 6.71 lakh and tops off at Rs 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). For the full variant-wise price break-up head to ► www.autocarindia.com/car-news/kia-sonet-launched-at-rs-671-lakh-418633. What do you think of the Sonet's pricing?
Questions: 1. What is the ground clearance of the car? Somewhere it is being said 211mm again somewhere it is being said 205mm? 2. It is mentioned in the brochure, wireless phone projection is only available in the 8inch music system, however have you tested, if the wireless android auto is available in the 10inch system? If not is there a possibility to get it through OTA update, or is it not possible at all as it is limited by the hardware? 3. Nexon's sound quality is louder, is it possible to increase the loudness of the Bose system by altering the equalization settings if present? 4. How is the quality of the reverse camera, how accurate is its dynamic guidelines? 5. In the GTX IMT variant there is an additional traction control feature, however traction modes (sand, mud, ice) not present. Neither the driving modes are present, though in IMT driving modes are not required as it can be controlled manually. So how significant is the traction control feature in the GTX IMT variant. Please throw some light on this topic. 6. Is there any option to fit the front parking sensors in the HTX+ variant, also fit the parking sensor on/off switch, as present in the GTX variant from the dealership on request? 7. I want to buy this car for a long term use (10 to 15 years, 2 to 3 lakh kms). Which engine will be a reliable option at the end of the cars lifecycle? Will the diesel variant be a reliable option after about 10years of use, or will it start giving problems like other diesel cars? No idea about the longevity of the turbo petrol variant, will it last as the naturally aspirated petrol engine, or do we face problems with it after long term use? Please throw some light on this topic as well.
SAAB was the first car company to develop this technology called the sensonic transmission (manual shifts on an automatic gearbox) for the SAAB 900 in the 90's. Surprising to see that this technology is back renamed as iMT.
Imagine a car with full features loaded in 2010? Wouldn’t the features become obsolete in like 2-3 years... what stays is driving dynamics, engine quality and reliability
bro only xuv300 has a better back seat space, but poorest boot space. Sonet has best boot space, and better backseat than Venue. How is it a deal breaker? sab chaiye kyaa aapko?
Plz do Kia Sonet HTX Petrol vs Diesel Reason both ex-showroom prices are 9.99L and on road prices are also almost same. 1) Kia Sonet HTX Petrol has 1ltr Turbo engine with iMT transmission 2) Kia Sonet HTX Diesel has 1.5 ltr Manual transmission Considering Yearly 5 - 10k running. Which is better option ?
Initially I didn't quite like the rear of Nexon, after seeing all its counterparts I'm pretty sure the rear side of Nexon is the best.😂😂 atleast it doesn't seem incomplete and an afterthought like the other cars. It's well designed and thought of.
This also doesn't look incomplete but have you seen the side profile of xuv 300? It looks like it was cut with hot knife in rear😂 And the front is so wide and muscular, but when it comes to back it looks so ugly Is like pehlwan with large muscles in arm and upper body but from stomach, thin as a impoverished child
Which car should I prefer, 1- Kia Sonet GTX MT 1.5 Ltr Diesel or 2- i20 Asta Optional 1.2 ltr petrol. I have normal use and less travelling. I am looking for a family car. My family size is of 5 people and max 5'6 height. Please reply me immediately. I need a quick suggestion. I have booked sonet in November and want to cancel my booking and book i20 to save some 3-4 lakhs and get same features on the cost of sacrificing sonet looks.
Class leading powertrain options, Class leading boot space, Class leading features, Class leading design.... With so many class leading things in a car , it's definately gonna be CLASS LEADING 🔥... Venue has now a worthy competitior infact worthier ✌️
Reason why i love to watch it more then other channels bcoz they cover every aspect. Their speaking styles are bery appropriate up to point and love to leason when and background music also. If i want genuine car vlog or comparison i will se u first. waiting for seltos vs Nexon vs venue
While Kia is hitting it out of park with every launch, I am not sure about their cars' GNCAP ratings. Both Sonet and Venue are based on Santro's platform which fared poorly in the GNCAP. So will Sonet and Venue. Seltos available abroad and in India are also based on different platforms. India gets older platform which is not as safe as the one available abroad. One side we have Nexon, EcoSport scoring 5*,4* in GNCAP what's stopping Kia to test their Indian cars and publish GNCAP ratings? Or is it intentional?
I was watching the Seltos fr Australian market scoring 4/5 Stars i guess with a load of safety features. Based on that, Indian model wud score a max 3 Star i guess
Venue is made on santro platform but it is made of 64% high strength steel and the build quality is totally at a level high as made in India venue scored 4 stars in Australian NCAP which is very close to Euro NCAP so build wise hyundai and kia never dissappoints..
Hello...my monthly running is around 500 kms; Can I go for HTX 1.5 diesel manual, in stead of 1.0 Turbo IMT, considering similar price range but distinctively better fuel effciency, in case of 1.5 diesel? If yes, say in case of, vehicle staying idle for 15-20 days, thereafter, would it cause any starting problem/maintainance issue??
Kia has completely changed the dynamics of the Indian Car market, hopefully it will push other car manufacturers to deliver vehicles at a similar level.
Ecosport is a tried and tested product with more service points and service is Also that way not too costly.....kia. Sonet is a new product but did you see the space at the rear ...in the kia you will get more connected features......kia is gaining more followers....if you want a pratical car then ford ecosport is the way to go...
Hi Renuka ! You have really given a nice review of the Sonet 👍 One important thing that you missed or I can say you keep missing is that whenever you test an Automatic car it's very important to emphasize that most of the variants of that particular car is having a Hill Assist Control (HAC) or not. I have observed that you test the Automatic cars on almost flat surfaces rather than on a really steep climb like Hill driving or even the exit of a Mall Parking. This feature is really very important because if someone buys Venue iMT (except the top model) or Sonet iMT, the company is not providing the HAC feature. I believe Sonet has this feature in DCT variant which is quite expensive and most of the people won't opt for it. It's a request, kindly do highlight the importance of having the HAC while giving reviews of an Automatic car. This will be good and also an eye opener for all those buyers who are not aware how much importance this feature holds while buying an Automatic car. A lay man will always think that the car he/she will be buying is an Automatic version so it will never roll backwards because of the creep function that the car offers . But at the same time it's also important to know and understand that the creep feature only works properly on a flat surface and won't prevent the car from rolling backwards if you stop midway and then try to accelerate while driving against a steep climb. Thank you !
Hello, I have a question regarding rear seats spaces. Since nowadays cars are offering a bigger boot space, is it not possible in the design(from car manufacturers) to grab some boot space and rear seats can get more space? This query is from a customer perspective. I am really not aware of how the engineering of car designs are made to be honest🙂
It is a great subcompact suv.. Great looks, great ride quality, tons of awesome features, good build quality. Overall value for money. Great ❤❤💪💪💪💪 Kia Sonet above all
one question... kia sonet says that it offers 120PS power max in 1.0 ltr turbo.. so thats the max power output. I think and sonet have multi mode drive in automatic model only. That means sports mode offer 120 PS power, it means that manual model never offer 120 PS power... M i right?? Can you plz make a video of power output manual and automatic wise. No one explain this, till yet i think This means that nexon and sonet saying max power output on sports mode only. So, in normal scenario, i think magnite power output is much satisfacfory without any mode Plz clear my doubt. Its a request
Although the car is a great looker with tons of features.The rear seat space is the biggest deal breaker. which provides enough reason for many consumers who are looking for good backseat experience to switch to it's competitors..
which variant, engine and transmission did Ms Renuka went on to buy? Please reply it could be great help in my buying decision as im planning to buy seltos.
I saw the Sonet in the showrooms. For me no manual in 1.0 turbo petrol and weak riding dynamics were the deal breakers. So instead I booked the best handling Ecosport
They should add the NCAP rating of each car, rather than soft touches and portraying the accessories or a list of, one should also account the terrain where they drive, the number of kms the vehicle has done, first impression doesn't last long, for cars u need to have a long term report.
Confused between the GTX+ IMT and DCT. Which one is recommended considering performance, pricing and after sales maintenance cost? My driving would mostly be in the city and single driver driven. Please suggest!
Seltos has been on top of the game for Kia in its respective segment. It would be interesting to see how Sonet would fare in a segment where Maruti dominates with Brezza.
There should be government regulations on new car bookings. The dealers should not be allowed to take bookings for delivery, say after two months. Or they should pay interest on the booking amount after two months. It’s apparent that the dealers, especially those of Kia, are taking advantage of their customers who book their cars. The system is so opaque that you will have no idea what’s happening even after three or four months. I am reporting from my own experience with the Kia dealer in Kerala. It’s high time the government intervened.
Nexon with dsg /dct ?? It will be expensive. nexon comes with amt petrol bcoz it has turbo petrol .when turbo petrol itself consumes a lot of fuel , it does make sense with amt rather than 6 speed torque convertor which is less fuel efficient . CVT or dct with nexon petrol will be expensive as it has turbo petrol... Tata should have provided an option of naturally aspirated petrol nexon
Hey Renuka, I need an honest feedback on comparison of XUV 300 petrol with KIA Sonet petrol, I mean which one would you recommend in terms of power, braking and overall ride comfort on a longer run...
This is the review I've been waiting for thanks Autocar we always appreciate your work and get ready folks this is going to be the car of the year !!! 👍👍🔥
Hello, Should I opt for sonet 1.0 litre IMT petrol or 1.5 litre diesel MT. As the on road price difference is less than 10k, hence this question. Please advise
Booked HTX+ IMT Kia Sonet....i m 6'1 and i found venue small in headroom than sonet... Am worried about turbocharged engine is it reliable than natural aspirated engine ? How about turbocharger maintenence cost? Clear doubts any body...
Turbos generally last around 1.5 lakh kms if taken care of properly. With modern technology I don't think you should worry. That being said there are exceptions everywhere, in the past NA engines were more reliable, but now tech has improved Congrats BTW. Enjoy driving.
Its limited rear seat space can put-off families. It looks more like a raised hatchback than SUV. Apart from that, its a feature loaded car and automatics would attract city buyers. Better to wait for next gen i20. Looks awesome, hope its launched with the right combination of engine n transmission options. i20 really offers nice space in the rear seat, lets see whats in store in next gen model.
How is Kia's after sales service and what about service cost and spare parts cost compared to other established companies like Hyundai , Suzuki , Figo , Tata ....??
I'm waiting for the Altroz EV! With the same Battery pack as the Nexon and significantly less weight, I think the Altroz EV will have a range of close to 400 Kms!! I hope so, at least... Hope they increase the Ground Clearance to at least 180 mms too, for the EV version!!
1. Which is more fun to drive engine, 1 Lt. petrol turbo or 1.5 Lt. diesel? 2. Are ventilated seats really effective? Should these be the deciding factor while selecting the model?
They review top variants mostly otherwise people will complain. There are multiple variants of every car, and there is no 'defined' middle variant, every car has differences there. To keep it fair either they review base variants or the top only of all. Plus, almost all cos give top models only for press cars.
Most sold segment usually for lower end cars. But I agree they should review the lowest and highest trim, gives you a real perspective on where things lie.
For the 1 litre turbo engine with the IMT transmission, isn't the turbo lag a pain in the ass? Like I have to drive the car for 90% of the times in a busy city like Bangalore (daily office going purposes), then isn't the turbo lag something that would screw the experience everyday, everytime? is there a way to get rid of it, or is it something that one has to live with?

Can you do a comparison between tata nexon and kia sonet

Really nice pricing I will buy GTX + imt or GTX+ diesel at
What is 11.99 lakh in U.S. dollars?
Many UA-camrs r reviewing vehicles now but Autocar n Renuka stands out first last 2 decades..truly professional
Questions:
1. What is the ground clearance of the car? Somewhere it is being said 211mm again somewhere it is being said 205mm?
2. It is mentioned in the brochure, wireless phone projection is only available in the 8inch music system, however have you tested, if the wireless android auto is available in the 10inch system?

True. Even the Fiat Palio had a model called the Citymatic launched in Brazil had this technology and now Hyundai and Kia come up with a new name iMT.
No one ever match the Level of professional reviews that Autocar does. Staright to the point and unbiased.
Imagine a car with full features loaded in 2010? Wouldn’t the features become obsolete in like 2-3 years... what stays is driving dynamics, engine quality and reliability
agreed. But things like ventilated seats and tyre pressure monitoring are essential.
Kia Sonet or Hyundai Venue... Which to choose?
I finally get to know Renuka owns a kia seltos 😅
That statement alone sale 1000 seltos this month for sure.
Haha
She got it soon after it was launched
@Joy yes it is but there are some fuel pump failures which is scary and also the suspension is still until 15000 kms
She told me that when i met her last year November. She also advised me to buy it. Ha ha
Planning to buy Kia Sonet HTX 2021 updated version. Which one is fun to drive iMT or DCT ( with paddle shift). Guys please suggest.
i still absolutely love nexon...wish they add some important features like ventilated seats
Yeah they need to do some upgrades
I'm waiting for Nexon DTC/DSG
The need to work on the interior a bit. Dash is too simple. Bt no doubt nexon is a gr8 car
No use of ventilated seats..you will have a back pain for long drive
And all LED lighting ☺️
How safe is this car? Especially considering Kia Seltos scored only 3 stars with unstable shell.
Every car has it's weakness and this car has its.
That's the backseat....
Rightly said. It will be a deal breaker for many....
Yes exactly
Xuv 300 has great backseat
bro only xuv300 has a better back seat space, but poorest boot space. Sonet has best boot space, and better backseat than Venue. How is it a deal breaker? sab chaiye kyaa aapko?
also i find it underpowered..
Yes for the long drives
Plz do Kia Sonet HTX Petrol vs Diesel
Reason both ex-showroom prices are 9.99L and on road prices are also almost same.
1) Kia Sonet HTX Petrol has 1ltr Turbo engine with iMT transmission
2) Kia Sonet HTX Diesel has 1.5 ltr Manual transmission
Considering Yearly 5 - 10k running. Which is better option ?
Initially I didn't quite like the rear of Nexon, after seeing all its counterparts I'm pretty sure the rear side of Nexon is the best.😂😂 atleast it doesn't seem incomplete and an afterthought like the other cars. It's well designed and thought of.
This also doesn't look incomplete but have you seen the side profile of xuv 300? It looks like it was cut with hot knife in rear😂
And the front is so wide and muscular, but when it comes to back it looks so ugly
Is like pehlwan with large muscles in arm and upper body but from stomach, thin as a impoverished child
My friend waited months for SONET .. but at the end buy NEXON
Difficult to figure in smaller cars but Nexon have done well
In BREZZA it's good
Me too 😂😂😂
Which car should I prefer,
1- Kia Sonet GTX MT 1.5 Ltr Diesel
or
2- i20 Asta Optional 1.2 ltr petrol.
I have normal use and less travelling.
I am looking for a family car.
My family size is of 5 people and max 5'6 height.
Please reply me immediately.
I need a quick suggestion.
I have booked sonet in November and want to cancel my booking and book i20 to save some 3-4 lakhs and get same features on the cost of sacrificing sonet looks.
Class leading powertrain options,
Class leading boot space,
Class leading features,
Class leading design....
With so many class leading things in a car , it's definately gonna be CLASS LEADING 🔥... Venue has now a worthy competitior infact worthier ✌️
Vitara brezza and urban cruiser have entered the chat
Class leading safety ratings too?
Which is best...
Seltos or sonet ?
Thank you
🙏
Reason why i love to watch it more then other channels bcoz they cover every aspect. Their speaking styles are bery appropriate up to point and love to leason when and background music also. If i want genuine car vlog or comparison i will se u first. waiting for seltos vs Nexon vs venue
HTX iMT Petrol and HTX Diesel Manual price is same. Which one you will suggest?
While Kia is hitting it out of park with every launch, I am not sure about their cars' GNCAP ratings. Both Sonet and Venue are based on Santro's platform which fared poorly in the GNCAP. So will Sonet and Venue.
Seltos available abroad and in India are also based on different platforms. India gets older platform which is not as safe as the one available abroad.
One side we have Nexon, EcoSport scoring 5*,4* in GNCAP what's stopping Kia to test their Indian cars and publish GNCAP ratings?
Or is it intentional?
Appreciate that u pointed out right thing.. even I wonder what could be rating if they send for crash test.. kia cars and venu.. !!!
I was watching the Seltos fr Australian market scoring 4/5 Stars i guess with a load of safety features. Based on that, Indian model wud score a max 3 Star i guess
YOLO
Venue is made on santro platform but it is made of 64% high strength steel and the build quality is totally at a level high as made in India venue scored 4 stars in Australian NCAP which is very close to Euro NCAP so build wise hyundai and kia never dissappoints..
Agreed, these car makers are just to make money, if we look at the safety prospect, indian car makers are doing great
Hello...my monthly running is around 500 kms; Can I go for HTX 1.5 diesel manual, in stead of 1.0 Turbo IMT, considering similar price range but distinctively better fuel effciency, in case of 1.5 diesel? If yes, say in case of, vehicle staying idle for 15-20 days, thereafter, would it cause any starting problem/maintainance issue??
Kia has completely changed the dynamics of the Indian Car market, hopefully it will push other car manufacturers to deliver vehicles at a similar level.
Does it good for traveling?
Hey Autocar...geart vedios!!
I'm thinking of getting a car this month..
Which one you will select..
1 ecosport ( tunder)
2. Kia sonet ( Desiel)
Ecosport is a tried and tested product with more service points and service is Also that way not too costly.....kia. Sonet is a new product but did you see the space at the rear ...in the kia you will get more connected features......kia is gaining more followers....if you want a pratical car then ford ecosport is the way to go...
Kia will definitely cost you more with same features , Also Sonet driving dynamics is not good as compared to Ecosport
I'm planning to buy this.. but I'm confused which one is better nissan magnite or this kia sonet?
Hi Renuka !
You have really given a nice review of the Sonet 👍
One important thing that you missed or I can say you keep missing is that whenever you test an Automatic car it's very important to emphasize that most of the variants of that particular car is having a Hill Assist Control (HAC) or not.
I have observed that you test the Automatic cars on almost flat surfaces rather than on a really steep climb like Hill driving or even the exit of a Mall Parking. This feature is really very important because if someone buys Venue iMT (except the top model) or Sonet iMT, the company is not providing the HAC feature. I believe Sonet has this feature in DCT variant which is quite expensive and most of the people won't opt for it.
It's a request, kindly do highlight the importance of having the HAC while giving reviews of an Automatic car.
This will be good and also an eye opener for all those buyers who are not aware how much importance this feature holds while buying an Automatic car.
A lay man will always think that the car he/she will be buying is an Automatic version so it will never roll backwards because of the creep function that the car offers . But at the same time it's also important to know and understand that the creep feature only works properly on a flat surface and won't prevent the car from rolling backwards if you stop midway and then try to accelerate while driving against a steep climb.
Thank you !
Is the kia sonet 1l petrol dct better than the kia seltos htx petrol ivt??
Hello,
I have a question regarding rear seats spaces.
Since nowadays cars are offering a bigger boot space, is it not possible in the design(from car manufacturers) to grab some boot space and rear seats can get more space? This query is from a customer perspective. I am really not aware of how the engineering of car designs are made to be honest🙂
Have booked the 1.0 DCT Petrol.. how much you think the cost will differ with the 1.5 Lt petrol torque converter ?
If a reviewer owns a seltos...then i knew this one will be good too....
Great content ma'am
How is the handling and ride quality compared to ecosport?
Ecosport is king in driving dynamics 🔥
It is a great subcompact suv.. Great looks, great ride quality, tons of awesome features, good build quality. Overall value for money. Great ❤❤💪💪💪💪 Kia Sonet above all
Out of Xuv300, Nexon , Sonet, venue and brezza has better suspension ?
Great review, excellent coverage! Really love these long videos from Autocar. Please keep them coming. Great camera work on the video as well
one question... kia sonet says that it offers 120PS power max in 1.0 ltr turbo.. so thats the max power output. I think and sonet have multi mode drive in automatic model only. That means sports mode offer 120 PS power, it means that manual model never offer 120 PS power... M i right?? Can you plz make a video of power output manual and automatic wise. No one explain this, till yet i think
This means that nexon and sonet saying max power output on sports mode only.
So, in normal scenario, i think magnite power output is much satisfacfory without any mode
Plz clear my doubt. Its a request
Although the car is a great looker with tons of features.The rear seat space is the biggest deal breaker. which provides enough reason for many consumers who are looking for good backseat experience to switch to it's competitors..
Can 3 people of average 5 feet could seat at the back .Actually we are planning a car for a family of five and shortlisted yaris.
No doubt.....in India motorcycles worth 45000 shud hv capacity to carry at least four then after spending 7 lakhs hw can v compromise on space???????
@@satyamprasad1473 no doubt they can sit but comfort is a thing that has to b ascertained 👍
Just FYI , Venue is the segment leader at the moment, so back seat is not that important after all
which variant, engine and transmission did Ms Renuka went on to buy? Please reply it could be great help in my buying decision as im planning to buy seltos.
I saw the Sonet in the showrooms. For me no manual in 1.0 turbo petrol and weak riding dynamics were the deal breakers.
So instead I booked the best handling Ecosport
Good choice...
Good decision
Hello Mam..have a budget of 11 to 12 Lakhs, pls suggest which wud be the best option in Compact SUV segment, already driving a Creta
They should add the NCAP rating of each car, rather than soft touches and portraying the accessories or a list of, one should also account the terrain where they drive, the number of kms the vehicle has done, first impression doesn't last long, for cars u need to have a long term report.
If that's the case with all the Car Company adding the NCAP rating.... People will stop buying our Country best selling Company......Maruti🤔
Yes, maintenance cost has to be mentioned.
Check out all these reviewers websites & magazines for long term reviews.
Confused between the GTX+ IMT and DCT. Which one is recommended considering performance, pricing and after sales maintenance cost? My driving would mostly be in the city and single driver driven. Please suggest!
Seltos has been on top of the game for Kia in its respective segment. It would be interesting to see how Sonet would fare in a segment where Maruti dominates with Brezza.
Which engine is best the 1.5 diesel Auto or 1.0 petrol with DCT or IMT
I think it's feel ignis in back look.but no doubt kia became third best motor company of India after this.
What is the curb weight of this car and is this crash tested in india? Little worried about safety
Kia Motors is the best thing that has happened to India. 🔥
but not dynamic drive quality bro.its features only loaded
Please review the which variant we should we buy
There should be government regulations on new car bookings. The dealers should not be allowed to take bookings for delivery, say after two months. Or they should pay interest on the booking amount after two months. It’s apparent that the dealers, especially those of Kia, are taking advantage of their customers who book their cars. The system is so opaque that you will have no idea what’s happening even after three or four months. I am reporting from my own experience with the Kia dealer in Kerala. It’s high time the government intervened.
At last you are driving the automatic gearbox why are all the other reviewers drove the manual gearbox
Still, I am in a love with NEXON, just waiting for them to change amt with dsg,
Nexon with dsg /dct ?? It will be expensive. nexon comes with amt petrol bcoz it has turbo petrol .when turbo petrol itself consumes a lot of fuel , it does make sense with amt rather than 6 speed torque convertor which is less fuel efficient . CVT or dct with nexon petrol will be expensive as it has turbo petrol... Tata should have provided an option of naturally aspirated petrol nexon
I'm also feeling the same. But sonet have more features than what we even think in nexon.
I heard that Nexon DSG is in works and it may be launched later this year.
DCT
Or even IMT!!
Hey Renuka, I need an honest feedback on comparison of XUV 300 petrol with KIA Sonet petrol, I mean which one would you recommend in terms of power, braking and overall ride comfort on a longer run...
This is the review I've been waiting for thanks Autocar we always appreciate your work and get ready folks this is going to be the car of the year !!! 👍👍🔥
Mahindra XUV 300 Vs Kia Sonet ...which to buy ?Your Views
Nexon vs. EcoSport vs. Brezza vs. XUV 300 vs. Venue vs. Sonet vs WRV
Nexon wins hands down especially when we do variant vs price comparison.....XM(S) is the best.
Seriously dude brezza and wrv 😂😂😂😂😂
They stand no way near rest of the sub 4 meter SUVs
You're kidding me WRV can't even step into this segment😂😂😂 it's a better compact crossover competing with freestyle not a compact suv
@@sentinelofeternity Nexon is the most expensive car in diesel with just 2 airbags, open your blind eyes for once!
Which color is best?
This car is gonna take the market by storm ⚡️🔥
Wait for new i20 then tell about this
It's just a glorified santro.
Y’all can keep hating but the truth won’t change 😂
Adarsh M i20 days are over. Even the new i20 isn't something appealing to buyers who wouldn't want to pay 10 lakhs for a hatchback.
Tough time for tata nexon
Hello, Should I opt for sonet 1.0 litre IMT petrol or 1.5 litre diesel MT. As the on road price difference is less than 10k, hence this question. Please advise
It's loaded with features. It's actually amazing and I doubt venue is going to get that market anymore now .. 😎
Which is a better option?
Venue sports trim dct dt top model or Kia Sonet
I'm confused between the two🙏
Venue and the other subcompact suv's have got some tough badass competition ...this car is fire..🔥
Well KIA is actually a subsidiary of Hyundai. So yeah tough competition for Venue but all money still goes to Hyundai.
Nexon vs Sonet?? Which is better?
I was waiting to watch this video... And what made to get more excited was it was done by Renuka mam...
Which is better Kia Sonet HTK+ iMT or Hyundai Venue SX iMT?
Tata Nexon Vs Kia Sonet 🔥 bring it on...!
Hands down the sonet will win
Sure Nexon
Hyundai Venue as well, which is segment's best currently.
Nexon is best
i will choose nexon
Hi Autocar India team : needed help in buying my new car.
Is Kia Sonet diesel AT good or Nexon diesel AT better?
Renuka!, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the review of Kia Sonnet and let me tell you that your style is unique when it comes to auto journalists!
Which interior colour is best dual tone Vs pure black
Kia is taking over the market segment by segment :)
Booked HTX+ IMT Kia Sonet....i m 6'1 and i found venue small in headroom than sonet... Am worried about turbocharged engine is it reliable than natural aspirated engine ?
How about turbocharger maintenence cost?
Clear doubts any body...
Turbos generally last around 1.5 lakh kms if taken care of properly.
With modern technology I don't think you should worry.
That being said there are exceptions everywhere, in the past NA engines were more reliable, but now tech has improved
Congrats BTW.
Enjoy driving.
Its limited rear seat space can put-off families. It looks more like a raised hatchback than SUV.
Apart from that, its a feature loaded car and automatics would attract city buyers.
Better to wait for next gen i20.
Looks awesome, hope its launched with the right combination of engine n transmission options. i20 really offers nice space in the rear seat, lets see whats in store in next gen model.
IMT or DCT? Which one is better?
Stance is not great. Looks like the Kwid from the side. That rear seat will be a deal breaker for many. Very tight on the rear.
Current waiting period on Sonet HTE 1.2 Manual Petrol in August/September 2021 ?
Excellent review Renuka and the team, one message to Kia, kindly give us the 6 speed Manual with the 1.0 litre turbo like we get in the venue!
How is Kia's after sales service and what about service cost and spare parts cost compared to other established companies like Hyundai , Suzuki , Figo , Tata ....??
Good review.
Now waiting for Tata to launch the Altroz turbo petrol with DCT this festive season. 😃
I'm waiting for the Altroz EV! With the same Battery pack as the Nexon and significantly less weight, I think the Altroz EV will have a range of close to 400 Kms!! I hope so, at least...
Hope they increase the Ground Clearance to at least 180 mms too, for the EV version!!
In our Dreams
Is the car's size like Suzuki Ignis or Breazza
You guys ever review the base models? Most of the customers usually buy those
1. Which is more fun to drive engine, 1 Lt. petrol turbo or 1.5 Lt. diesel?
2. Are ventilated seats really effective? Should these be the deciding factor while selecting the model?
Liked as soon as Renuka came into the picture! Most awaited and Perfect review!
Which one is the better option sonet or Nexon?
Nexon anyday
camera movement is just amazing👌
Which is better Nexon or sonet?
Again only review of GT Line. What about Tech line. Why you just always review only the top
Spec variant? Disappointed.
They review top variants mostly otherwise people will complain. There are multiple variants of every car, and there is no 'defined' middle variant, every car has differences there. To keep it fair either they review base variants or the top only of all.
Plus, almost all cos give top models only for press cars.
Agree
Review cars are always top variant
Most sold segment usually for lower end cars. But I agree they should review the lowest and highest trim, gives you a real perspective on where things lie.
They can only review cars provided by the company so it's not in their hands
hey ...confused between Seltos HTK+ and Sonnet HTX+.... which one is best ??
Never expected gold color to look this good , going to book this soon once the prices are out
Haven't you seen Altroz..😍
@Autocar Hi Renuka!!! How does the Sonet Petrol Gtline compare with the polo 1.2 gt tsi? Will it be an upgrade in terms of engine and handling?
Much Awaited Review This Year🤩 Small Seltos🔥🔥
kia sonet or hyundai venue? venue petrol or sonet iMT?
Another review where Renuka hit the ball out of the park!
I am planning to buy kia sonet but I am confused between turbo petrol imt and 1.5 tc. So which one should I consider
Neither
Has anyone seen the Sonet's pricing? So shocked to see that automatic DCT is available only in the mid trim HTK+.
Been an Ecosport lover for 8 years.. so much so that i bought again in 2018 but...... this car changed it all.. M booking one
Video Is Going To Be In Trending List 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For the 1 litre turbo engine with the IMT transmission, isn't the turbo lag a pain in the ass? Like I have to drive the car for 90% of the times in a busy city like Bangalore (daily office going purposes), then isn't the turbo lag something that would screw the experience everyday, everytime? is there a way to get rid of it, or is it something that one has to live with?
No Matter what , RENUKA ma'am we want comparison video as soon as possible. It's a request .....! Pls🙏
Can we shift gear simultaniously when applying break..is it harmful ?
