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.
Skoda Kylaq
- Fun! 1-litre TSI engine is fun to push hard and puts a smile on your face.
- Practical. Ample space for four 6-footers. Cabin storage is very well thought out too.
- 446-litre boot space is more than sufficient for 4 cabin-sized trolley bags.
- Enough features: sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats, 10.1-inch touchscreen.

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
Skoda Kylaq
- No diesel or CNG options available.
- 1-litre turbo petrol engine can be very thirsty in heavy city traffic. Expect 10kmpl at best.
- Minor annoyances: poor camera quality, noisy seat ventilation blowers spoil the experience.
