Six airbags are now available on more models too. Some premium features and transmissions have also trickled down to lower variants.

Mahindra XUV300

  • Big feature list
  • comfortable ride quality
  • torquey diesel engine
  • safety tech

Kia Sonet 2020-2024

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. May I know the ride quality factors. Which is better between Sonet and XUV300?
  • If we talk about Kia Sonet, it is tuned for comfort. That’s pretty much the ride and handling package of the Sonet. In itself, the suspension battles harsh road surfaces, surface level changes and potholes with confidence. What amplifies this confidence is the insulation. You hear little of the tyre and road surface, making you believe the ride is plusher. Large craters at low speeds are shrugged off with little side-to-side movement. Over sharp edges and expansion joints, you’d notice some vertical movement before the suspension settles. This never gets tiresome though, even on fast expressways. Both the steering and braking performance seem par for the course. The steering is light enough for city duties and weighs up enough for the highways. Enthusiasts could harp on about wanting more feedback, but for the Sonet’s intended use it does just fine. It holds its line well (albeit with slight body roll) and lets you have some cornering fun in the twisties. On the other hand, you feel confident while driving the XUV, thanks to the steering. It has three modes - Normal, Comfort and Sport -, which change the weight of the steering. These do not change how quickly the vehicle actually turns, so we preferred the light but precise and direct feel of Comfort. The suspension also makes the XUV300 feel composed at high speeds, even over poor roads. The brakes provide a safe and secure feel while slowing down too. In the city, the way the suspension reduces the impact of the potholes is also satisfying. Do take a test drive for better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.

Q. This is Amol, I planned to buy mini-SUV for my family. And after lot of research I booked 2 vehicles as i am still confused. XUV300- W8- Optional (Diesel) at 14.00 Lacs and Kia Sonet HTX (Disel)- 12 Lacs. Here are my requirements-1. This is my first car2. I do have monthly run of 1500 km. (And i already made my mind that i need Diesel and not Petrol)3. Should be good in design and should be smooth ride4. Comfort for front and back seaters as well (I am 5.11 and my wife and mother are 5.4 each)- family of 3.5. Safety is also one prime criteria.6. I can save money if possible as well. (sunroof is must and i didn't liked Nexon's design) 7. Maintenance should be low and average should be good.Please advise as i will not be keeping this vehicle for more than 5 years. So resale should also be good down the line.Any help would be appreciated :)
  • Both cars are good enough and have their own forte. Both cars are capable enough for city and highway drive. However, XUV300 Diesel is more powerful punchy, fun to drive, and offers better high-speed stability. If we talk about ride quality both offer great ride quality. However, Sonet is a bit more smooth to drive. In terms of comfort both cars are good enough however, Sonet offers a better rear-seat comfort as compared to XUV300. If we talk about Safety, XUV300 is a clear winner here. It is the safest car in India at its price. Mahindra XUV300 and Kia Sonet Diesel deliver claimed mileage of 20kmpl and 24.1 kmpl respectively. There is around Rs.1.8 lakh difference between both selected variants. However, you get better features list in XUV300. If we talk about the resale value it will depend on, KM driver, the physical condition of the car, insurance history, how it is driven and maintained etc. You may comoare both cars accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. Which is best kia sonet top varient or Mahindra XUV 300 top varient?

On the other hand, if you are looking for a sub-compact SUV that comes loaded with modern-day features, multiple powertrain options, butch looks and offers a spacious and premium cabin, then we would suggest you to opt for the Kia Sonet.

    Excellent Car 

    It sounds like you have an excellent fully loaded GTX+ diesel manual car that adds a fun element to driving, especially in tight spaces in metro areas. Additionally, its performance remains equally impressive and comfortable on highways. If you have more details or features to highlight, it could make your vehicle even more appealing to potential buyers. Happy driving!
