Q. Which one is the best, Mahindra Bolero or Kia Sonet?
  • Both the cars are good in their forte. The Sonet is ticking all the right boxes otherwise. It’s delivering on the wow factor with pukka mini-SUV looks, quality interiors and a feature list that’d make you question paying a premium for larger SUVs. It’s sensible and practical too, with loads of cubby holes and a large boot. You get proper automatics, and the engines on offer cover a wide range of usage. On the other hand, The Mahindra Bolero has always stood out as a no-nonsense SUV that delivers great value to its buyers by offering ruggedness and reliability. It’s built to outlast a zombie apocalypse and even if something breaks, it’s going to cost pennies to replace or repair it. So the Bolero might outlast a zombie apocalypse but does it really need to be prepared for one? Basic things such as internally adjustable ORVMs, dual airbags, better second-row seatbelts, and a rattle-free cabin are a must.
