Pros & Cons

Pros
Cons

Kia Sonet
- Looks better than before with a better lighting setup.
- Added features, borrowed from a segment above, make it one of the most loaded SUV in its segment.
- Most number of powertrain options in the segment, with 3 engines and 5 transmission options to choose from.
- One of the best all rounders in the segment.
Maruti FRONX
- Muscular styling commands attention. Looks like a baby SUV.
- Spacious and practical cabin is very well-suited for a small family.
- Choice of automatic with both engine options.
- Covers the basics: 9-inch touchscreen, climate control, cruise control.
- Comfy ride quality over bad roads

Kia Sonet
- Borrowing powertrains and features from a segment above has made it pretty expensive.
- Cabin insulation could have been better.
- Turbo-petrol engine option, in Sport mode, feels jerky to drive in traffic.
- Rear seats could have had better cushioning and better space
Maruti FRONX
- Sloping roofline eats into rear seat headroom.
- No diesel engine option — available with Venue, Nexon and Sonet.
- Missing features: sunroof, leatherette upholstery, ventilated seats.
