Kia Sonet

Toyota Taisor
- Dashboard and colour scheme same as the Fronx
- Few missing features: leatherette seat covers with ventilation and sunroof
- Rear headroom is tight, especially for taller occupants
- Plastic texture on the dashboard could have been better
Kia Sonet
- Borrowing powertrains and features from a segment above has made it pretty expensive.
