are my
requirements-1. This is my first car2. I do have monthly run of 1500 km. (And i already made my
mind that i
need Diesel and not Petrol)3. Should be good in design and should be smooth ride4. Comfort
for front and back
seaters as well (I am 5.11 and my wife and mother are 5.4 each)- family of 3.5. Safety
is also one prime
criteria.6. I can save money if possible as well. (sunroof is must and i didn't liked
Nexon's design) 7.
Maintenance should be low and average should be good.Please advise as i will not be
keeping this vehicle for
more than 5 years. So resale should also be good down the line.Any help would be

Both cars are good enough and have their own forte. Both cars are
capable enough for city and highway drive. However, XUV300 Diesel is more powerful punchy, fun to drive, and
offers better high-speed stability. If we talk about ride quality both offer great ride quality. However,
Sonet is a bit more smooth to drive. In terms of comfort both cars are good enough however, Sonet offers a
better rear-seat comfort as compared to XUV300. If we talk about Safety, XUV300 is a clear winner here. It is
the safest car in India at its price. Mahindra XUV300 and Kia Sonet Diesel deliver claimed mileage of 20kmpl
and 24.1 kmpl respectively. There is around Rs.1.8 lakh difference between both selected variants. However,
you get better features list in XUV300. If we talk about the resale value it will depend on, KM driver, the
physical condition of the car, insurance history, how it is driven and maintained etc. You may comoare both cars accordingly. Do take a test ride in order to get better
clarity. Check out authorised dealership
details.
