Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Kia Sonet

  • Premium interior quality
  • loaded features list
  • wide range of engines and transmissions available
  • strong standard safety pack including some autonomous safety features
  • well-loaded mid-range variants

Toyota Etios Liva

  • A genuinely spacious 5-seat hatchback
  • the Etios Liva offers a lot of storage space - a 13-litre cooled glovebox and 251 litres of bootspace! The engine and transmission are tuned for city driving while the electrically adjustable ORVMs
  • powerful A/C
  • steering-mounted multimedia controls and good all round visibility enhance comfort. The ride is comfortable while the handling is neutral. It is backed up by Toyota dependable quality
  • service network and affordable parts.

Kia Sonet

  • Base 1.2 petrol misses the option of an automatic transmission
  • diesel engine could've been more refined
  • cabin best suited for 4 occupants
  • not 5

Toyota Etios Liva

  • Looks rather bland from the side while the interior quality feels sub par. There’s not even touchscreen infotainment system on offer. Other cost-cutting measures prevent it from feeling premium. For example
  • the A/C controls are old-school
  • dial-type units with flimsy build. The front seatbelts are not height adjustable and can prove to be cumbersome for shorter drivers. Also
  • there’s no dead pedal or space to place your left foot on longer drives.

Q. Which car should I buy under 8 lakh with good built quality, good average and safety?
  • You have many options under 8lakh but if you want good built quality then forget about MARUTI cars.And you want good average to the forget about HYUNDAI petrol cars too. So you left with I20 diesel, Honda amaze (petrol and diesel),Ford figo .So acc. to me I personally suggest you to avoid diesel cars in todays time . So you can go for honda amaze petrol if you want a sedan and ford figo petrol if you want a hatch.i personally recomend you ford figo because it is more fun to drive car .

  • Go for a Volkswagen Polo Comfortline TSI. Excellent build quality and safety. Super fun to drive. A great infotainment system (not a touchscreen tho). Good boot space. The perfect size for Indian roads. Overall, a great car for its price. (not like Maruti Suzuki, which are toycars).

    Compact and average car 

    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. The Sonet comes in three engine options: a 1.2L petrol for good mileage, a 1.0L turbo-petrol for more power, and a 1.5L diesel for strong torque.

    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.

    Kia Sonet: Compact Yet Spacious 

    Since I bought the Kia Sonet, it has been nothing short of a rollercoaster. On the plus side this compact SUV is surprisingly roomy. It manages to fit five adults comfortably and the 392 litre boot space easily handles our weekend getaways. The 1.5 liter diesel engine with the manual transmission is my pick providing enough torque for city drives and economical fuel consumption at about 25 kmpl.The Sonet also scores high on looks with its bold design and the signature tiger nose grille making heads turn. Tech wise it is packed with features, including a 10.25 inch touchscreen, ventilated front seats and a six speaker sound system.

    when style meets class 

    Assuring with a promising performance of the kia sonet which is not only smart in looks but also extraordinary in functionalities. It has been more than six months approximately since I bought this car. All i can say is that it has been built differently and the exterior design steals the attention on the road. The seat is very soft and comfortable. It has a very powerful motor that brings out the actual potential of this car. I have never faced jerks or vibrations while driving it. It has always been smooth throughout.

    Best Car 

    After seven years of driving a Toyota Etios Liva and covering around 57,000 kilometers, I've had to replace both shock absorbers, the steering wheel joint, and the front wheel bearing. In contrast, my previous ownership of a Maruti Alto was more reliable when it came to these parts. I've also encountered another owner with similar complaints about the Etios Liva. Based on my personal experience, I would caution against buying a Toyota Liva and suggest considering other brands, which could potentially save you a significant amount on costly replacement parts.
