Great review! This car vs Xuv 3xo AX5 petrol automatic, which one do you recommend for a family of 5 people? Most of the drive will be in city

Hi, 3xo is the better option Considering -Value for money -Useful features -Sitting 3 in the back -better suspension Sonet becomes a better option, when looks of vehicle is more important for you.

@ajayprabhakarkavungal2 күн бұрын
Hi, Nothing to worry about. Compared to other small capacity engines, this G1.0 Turbo generates higher power and torque hence the the heat output is directly proportional. It's designed to work in those thermal conditions. Anyway, if you are observing abnormal heating please check with service team.

A fun car to drive. Sports mode with paddle shifters stole the show. Suspension has also improved when compared to pre-facelift. I hope Kia has improved upon it’s passive safety. The car is pricey for a sub 4 meter crossover, but really has all the gizmos to make it most desirable in the segment.

Thanks for the detailed Explanation. It was really helpful for me. Just one thing i use mostly in City conditions and i have read that DCT is not suitable for City and i am trying to use Manual for now. What's your take on that?
@jalajchaturvedi111 күн бұрын
I am driving the same model since a few days now and i think it's an issue only for people who manhandle the gear box rather than treating it the way it's supposed to be. Most people think that Automatic means they don't have to touch the gear lever until they stop at their destination, which is wrong. In case of long stops such as at the signals, you need to have your car shifted back to Neutral or Parking. Else it's just trying to move forward in Drive Gear while you have applied the brakes which will eventually cause trouble. Compare the same scenario with a manual gearbox. If you drive a manual car, you either put your car in Neutral or you have the Clutch engaged while you let go off the accelerator at any stop. You don't accelerate your car and step on the brakes at the same time.
@ajayprabhakarkavungal11 күн бұрын
Hi, DCT gear box heats up in stop and go traffic due to the "clutch slip" happening. If you are using manual mode in the DCT gear box, it's not going to reduce the chance of gearbox heating. The ideal solution is to shift to neutral mode, if you stay stopped for more than 10 seconds.

Bro should i go with sonet htx dct or verna sx manual, i came to a point that these two are the two final options. I know i shouldn’t be comparing sonet and verna. But the price range is similar. So please help me pick one. And please state the reason you picked one over the other.
@ajayprabhakarkavungal13 күн бұрын
Hi, My choice will be Kia Sonet HTX DCT. Because, it comes with a great DCT gear box and a more powerful engine compared to the 1.5 mpi engine. Higher ground clearance Leatherette seat with ventilation Interior design (subjective) Verna could be better if you prefer to have More stability in the drive Better boot space Broader cabin and rear seat leg space Low drive position

Thanks bro for the review. How do you like the interior color ? brown and black seats ? I liked the black seats of GTX(+) ;but the fullblack interior(roof and sides) is pushing me back. So going ahead with HTX DCT . I guess Diesel or iMT HTX variants comes with beige instead of brown. Beige looks bit more natural than brown on the seats

Hi, This is a completely subjective topic. Brown and black felt premium for me because it's made out of leather and comes with ventilation.

Hi, These two vehicles belong to different size categories. If you are looking for space Vitara is the option. But in all other aspects like features, a high torque engine Sonet is better.

I heard DCT engine has heating issues in bumper to bumper traffic? Is it correct?
@ajayprabhakarkavungal19 күн бұрын
Hi, Technically it can happen. Because DCTs are operated with twin clutches. And at lower speeds there is a very high chance of "clutch slip" to keep crawling (technically the clutch has to work against the brakes being applied by the driver to keep the speed low). This leads to over heating of clutches. Best practice is to shift to neutral when not moving in traffic. And this heating depends on multiple factors like Driving behaviour, environment temperature etc.

Hi Anil, It's true that Sonet comes with a Stiff suspension. But not uncomfortable. I never had any complaints from my passengers regarding suspension, but rear seats are uncomfortable due to Less under thigh support and Less shoulder space for 3 passengers. Apparently, the stiff suspension helps to improve the stability at higher speeds and keeps the vehicle agile in corners.

Any suggestions for good aftermarket rims, which suits the design?
@ajayprabhakarkavungal21 күн бұрын
Yes of course. The design of the wheel could be subjective from person to person. In my perspective, a thin spoke wheel with maximum visibility to discs(paint the calipers if possible) can make it look better. The standard offset is 49-53 mm, and if you increase this it will look cool. When it comes to diameter a 16" will be perfect in proportion.
