Pros and Cons

  • Positives
  • Negatives

Citroen Basalt

  • Looks! Coupe SUV design turns a lot of heads
  • Rear seat space — great kneeroom and foot room. Ample headroom despite sloping roof
  • HUGE 470-litre boot space
  • Will accommodate a whole lot more than just a weekend’s worth of luggage easily.

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

Citroen Basalt

  • Bare basic feature list - Sunroof
  • cruise control
  • push-button start stop are sorely missed; 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine does not feel refined
  • Automatic gearbox is slow to respond.

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

    good with under good price 

    I drive a great little SUV, the Kia Sonet. It is sleek and feature-rich. It costs roughly Rs 7 lakh, which is fair given its qualities. The automobile gets 18 km/l, terrific mileage. Multiple airbags, ABS, and a sturdy body improve safety. Space and comfort are combined in the well-designed cabin with a high-tech infotainment system. Traffic and parking are easy with the automobile. The limited back seat space should be improved. I love my Kia Sonet and would suggest it to anybody seeking for a sleek and feature-packed small SUV.

    Feature loaded compact SUV 

    Kia sonet is my second car that comes with the competitive pricing and it comes with many segment first features. The build quality of this compact SUV is also good and it look stylish and the cabin is very good with good spacing but the ride quality is not that good.

    A Stylish City Cruiser with Room for Improvement 

    This January, I decided to take my newly purchased Kia Sonet to meet my parents to Jaipur. The 1.5L diesel engine with 115 PS power and 250 Nm of torque made the highway ride incredibly smooth. But as much as I loved the modern look and feel, I hit a few bumps throughout the way. The rear seating, though adequate for short trips, felt little bit cramped for my taller friends and that cause some discomfort.

    superb drive quality 

    I was quite lucky to take a test drive of kia sonet model and it was such a mesmerizing experience that it convinced my mind to buy it. I got that from the same showroom at an affordable price. It is not at all expensive and worth the features. It comprises of modern technologies but at the same time makes it difficult for me to take controls over the touchscreen which is quite confusing. The interior is quite cozy and comfortable, roomier than it was.
