Q. I am confused between Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon and Kia Sonet. My budget is 12 lakh. I want a low maintenance high performance and carefree car. Pls suggest.

There’s very little to hold against Kia’s Sonet. It could do with more cabin width to seat five better. An aspect where not just the Sonet but Kia themselves as a manufacturer needs to prove their long-term reliability and dependability. 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 being 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. If we talk about Hyundai Venue, it shares a lot with Sonet, features, and powertrain. Over Sonet, Venue would be more comfortable for rear passengers and it has the advantage of a wide service network oh Hyundai. Over Venue, Sonet offers better looks and ride quality. The Tata Nexon, with the facelift, has become an even stronger contender. With the revised looks, more powerful engine, and added features, it surely needs to be on the top of your consideration list. If your safety is for priority and wants a spacious car especially for rear passengers. You may go for Tata Nexon. You may compare all these cars accordingly. Do take a test drive in order to get better clarity. Check out authorized dealership details.
