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 Taisor
  • Good looks with enough tweaks to distinguish it from the Fronx
  • multiple engine options including a turbo petrol and CNG option
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 Taisor
  • Again similar feature misses like no ventilated seats or sunroof
  • similar lack of storage and head room in the rear. You'll also need to pay a bit more for the mid variants of the Taisor compared to the Fronx.
