With features like ADAS technology, the Kia Sonet sets the standard even higher.

Additionally, as with other cars, more features include parking sensors, automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera, a heads-up display, and a wireless smartphone charger. Even though the Taisor lacks options like ambient lighting, ventilated seats, and imitation leather, buyers of the Sonet have praised this equipment and feature set.

Desirable Price Options

These crossovers, which include the Kia Sonet, Toyota Taisor, and the soon-to-be-released Mahindra 3XO, are quite tempting because of their sub-four-meter length. This characteristic entitles them to significant tax benefits in addition to facilitating better navigation through congested streets and small parking spaces.

The starting price of the Kia Sonet is Rs. 7.99 lakh (ex-showroom), while the Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor is Rs. 7.73 lakh.

Powertrain

The SONET and Taisor have 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine options that deliver brisk performance from a compact motor, in addition to naturally aspirated engines. A turbo-petrol engine is also anticipated for the future 3XO, promising thrilling performance. Additionally, the Sonet and Taisor are said to be fuel-efficient, and smaller engines also equate to improved fuel efficiency. This ensures that alongside a spirited drive, owners can also look forward to economical fuel consumption rates.
