Q. I am very confused between Hyundai i20 and Kia Sonet ? Which one will you prefer in the budget of 10 lakhs?

Selecting between the Kia Sonet and Hyundai i20 would depend on certain factors such as your preference of the segment, fuel type, features required, maintenance costs, etc. 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 a slight body roll) and lets you have some cornering fun in the twisties. It still remains a good value for money car for an everyday city-centric SUV. On the other hand, Hyundai’s certainly pushed expectations from the segment ahead by offering more features and more choice with the drive options, while improving on the basic need of space and practicality. Hyundai i20 doesn’t just offer loads of new tech, it also works better as a family car than before, albeit for a bit of a price increase.
