    The Sonet is a head-turner for sure. It's got a sporty design. You can choose from colors to match your vibe. It have plenty of legroom and headroom. The seats are comfortable for long drives. In the back, it might feel a little cramped for three adults.

  • Sonet
    Compact and average car 

    I recently drove the Kia Sonet , impressed by its sleek style and comfortable interiors. However, its mileage fell short of expectations; while the company claims 15 km/l, I managed 12 km/l in the city and 14 km/l on the highway. The compact SUV's performance was satisfactory, though not exceptional. Its manual transmission and all-wheel drive add versatility, but the lack of memory seats and sunroof may disappoint some. Overall, the Kia Sonet is a decent choice for urban commuters, with room for improvement in fuel efficiency and luxury features.

    Amazing interior 

    This car has a basic and classic style although it is a seven seater SUV with superb interior features, the last row is only intended for children. Though it is not comfortable for a lengthy trip, it offers a respectable boot capacity and uses less petrol and operates well even on rough terrain. In addition to having all the standard safety measures, the Mahindra Bolero offers a smooth ride. Although the third row is unpleasant, it is far safer than the previous model. It offers good fuel economy and exceptional city driving capabilities.
