                  • 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.

                • 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.
