Maruti Brezza Facelift से लेकर Hyundai Venue तक, ये हैं भारत की 6 दमदार 1.0L Turbo-Petrol SUVs

अगर आप कम बजट में एक ऐसी कॉम्पैक्ट SUV खरीदने की सोच रहे हैं, जिसमें दमदार परफॉर्मेंस के साथ बेहतर ड्राइविंग एक्सपीरियंस मिले, तो 1.0-लीटर टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन वाली गाड़ियां आपके लिए एक अच्छा विकल्प हो सकती हैं। दरअसल, Maruti Suzuki ने नई Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के साथ इस सेगमेंट में अपनी एंट्री कर दी है। बता दें कि नई Brezza में 1.0-लीटर टर्बो बूस्टरजेट इंजन दिया गया है, जो इसी तरह के डिस्प्लेसमेंट वाले टर्बोचार्ज्ड पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ पहले से मौजूद कई अन्य सब-4-मीटर SUV की लिस्ट में शामिल हो गई हैं। अब आइए जानते हैं ऐसी 6 SUVs के बारे में, जिन्हें आप खरीदने पर विचार कर सकते हैं।

Maruti Brezza new vs old: Differences and similarities explained

Maruti Brezza new vs old models compared

Four years after replacing the Vitara Brezza, the ‘Brezza’ nameplate has received its first lifecycle update. With this, the 2026 Maruti Brezza offers buyers a multitude of new features and styling tweaks that the brand hopes will keep its compact SUV competitive among segment rivals that include the Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Skoda Kylaq and Tata Nexon. Having said that, let’s find out the main differences between the new Maruti Suzuki Brezza and its predecessor.

Maruti Brezza new vs old: Exterior design

Changes on the outside are mostly limited to the soft parts

To help differentiate the 2026 Brezza from the old model, Maruti Suzuki has given it a few noticeable styling tweaks. For starters, there’s a new grille at the front and it’s finished in dark chrome. The front bumper has been redesigned as well, and it comes with an additional silver plastic garnish. Maruti has also re-done the front fog-lamp design. The LED units now sit inside a cone-shaped housing and have been moved further up the bumper compared to the old Brezza.

Along the sides, the 2026 Brezza features new 16-inch alloy wheels with a two-tone finish and dual-tone body cladding. The rest of the styling details remain identical to the old model. Maruti has done away with the Brave Khakhi and Exuberant Blue mono-tone colours, replacing them with Vivacious Orange and Lustrous Beige tones. The Sizzling Red with Bluish Black Roof dual-tone colour remains, but the other two options are now Lustrous Beige and Pearl Arctic White with the same ‘Blueish Black’ roof. The rear of the 2026 Brezza looks largely similar to the old model. Finally, the new Brezza Turbo gets red accents all around and different door cladding, along with ‘Turbo Boosterjet’ branding.

Maruti Brezza new vs old: Interior design and features

Few styling tweaks and new features add to this interior’s overall appeal

The overall design and layout of the Maruti Brezza’s interior hasn’t changed with the 2026 facelift. However, some of the tweaks that the brand has made are quite easy to spot. The first amongst these is the new 10.1-inch touchscreen head unit, which features the Suzuki SmartPlay Pro X infotainment system. For reference, the previous mode’s SmartPlay Pro+ system came with a 9-inch touchscreen. The silver-coloured plastic trim on the dashboard and doors in the old Brezza have given way to gloss-black trim in the 2026 model. These look nice and premium but are a magnet for fingerprints and scratches.

Further down the centre stack, the Brezza facelift gets a new HVAC panel with physical, piano-style keys and a single rotary dial – this has been borrowed from the Victoris. Although stylish to look at, it no longer has a dedicated display to show the temperature and blower speed – these have been moved to the infotainment screen. The climate control does get a PM2.5 filter with an AQI display now, though.

While the design of the steering wheel and instrument cluster remain unchanged, the Brezza now gets suction-type front-seat ventilation, 64-colour ambient lighting, dual-tone part-leatherette seats, Suzuki Navigation built-in, and new driver-assistance features like safe-exit warning, blind-spot warning, lane-departure alert and rear cross-traffic alert.

Maruti Brezza new vs old: Engine and gearbox

Differences between the old and new Brezza are more than skin-deep

Maruti has carried over the K15C four-cylinder petrol engine with the automatic engine stop-start system from the pre-facelift Brezza. In the 2026 Brezza, this 1.5-litre mill continues to produce 103hp and 139Nm. In its CNG avatar as well, the Brezza facelift’s engine output of 88hp and 122Nm remains the same as the old model. However, the difference with the new model is that it gets underbody CNG tanks, which don’t eat up boot space.

The other difference between the 2026 Maruti Brezza and its predecessor is the inclusion of a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with direct injection. Also used in the Fronx, this ‘Boosterjet’ powerplant has been retuned for the Brezza, so it now makes 110hp and 170Nm. The Turbo and CNG versions are only offered with the new 6-speed manual gearbox, which replaces the old 5-speed unit. Meanwhile, the naturally aspirated engine can be paired with the 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, which was available with the pre-facelift model as well.

The step up from a 5-speed manual gearbox to a 6-speed unit also means that the 2026 Brezza offers better fuel economy. The pre-facelift Brezza with the naturally aspirated engine and manual gearbox had a claimed mileage of up to 17.80kpl, while its 2026 equivalent claims a figure of up to 21.09kpl. The 2026 Brezza CNG also has a higher claimed fuel economy of 26.90km/kg, where the old model’s was 25.51km/kg. Maruti claims that the new Turbo variants of the Brezza have a fuel economy of up to 20.47kpl.

Maruti Brezza new vs old: Prices

Despite the various updates and additions that the 2026 Maruti Brezza gets over its predecessor, its new Turbo version starts at an introductory price of Rs 7.40 lakh. This is lower than the base price of the pre-facelift model, which started at Rs 8.26 lakh. The 1.0-litre engine of the new Turbo variants make them eligible for higher tax breaks – the old Brezza’s 1.5-litre engine didn’t allow for this. That said, Maruti Suzuki is yet to disclose the prices of the rest of the variants of the 2026 Brezza.

Maruti Brezza 2026: इंजन और पावरट्रेन

Maruti Brezza 2026 की सबसे बड़ी खासियत इसका नया 1.0-लीटर टर्बो बूस्टरजेट पेट्रोल इंजन है, जो 6-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स के साथ आएगा और 110.2 PS की पावर और 170 Nm का टॉर्क जनरेट करेगा। Maruti Suzuki ने इसकी फ्यूल एफिशिएंसी 20.47 kmpl बताई है। यह नया टर्बो-पेट्रोल ऑप्शन उन ग्राहकों को ध्यान में रखकर पेश किया गया है, जो तेज़ रफ़्तार और बेहतर परफॉर्मेंस चाहते हैं।

टर्बो-पेट्रोल इंजन के अलावा Maruti Suzuki Brezza 2026 में पहले वाला 1.5-लीटर K15C Dual Jet Dual VVT पेट्रोल इंजन भी जारी रहेगा। यह इंजन 103.05 PS की पावर और 139 Nm का टॉर्क देता है। इसमें अब पुराने 5-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स की जगह नया 6-स्पीड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन दिया गया है। इसके साथ ही पैडल शिफ्टर्स वाला 6-स्पीड ऑटोमैटिक गियरबॉक्स का विकल्प भी मिलता रहेगा।

वहीं, S-CNG वर्जन (87.8 PS और 121.5 Nm) को भी नए अंडरबॉडी CNG टैंक के साथ अपडेट किया गया है, जिससे बूट स्पेस ज्यादा मिलता है। इसमें आइडल स्टार्ट-स्टॉप टेक्नोलॉजी और नया 6-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स भी दिया गया है।

Maruti Brezza 2026: डिजाइन और फीचर्स में बड़े बदलाव

2026 Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के बाहरी हिस्से में कई कॉस्मेटिक बदलाव किए गए हैं। इसमें नई स्मोक क्रोम ग्रिल, मेटैलिक ग्रे स्किड प्लेट, नए डुअल-टोन साइड क्लैडिंग और नए डिजाइन वाले प्रिसिजन-कट अलॉय व्हील्स दिए गए हैं। टर्बो वेरिएंट्स में खास ‘Turbo Boosterjet’ बैजिंग भी है, और खरीदार स्पोर्टी रेड एक्सेंट वाले खास टर्बो एक्सेसरी पैकेज का विकल्प भी चुन सकते हैं।

इंटीरियर की बात करें तो, SUV के केबिन में कई नए फीचर्स जोड़े गए हैं। Maruti Brezza 2026 में अब 10.1-इंच का SmartPlay Pro X टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम मिलता है, जिसमें इन-बिल्ट Alexa, वायरलेस Android Auto और Apple CarPlay, इंटरनेट कनेक्टिविटी, ओवर-द-एयर अपडेट्स और 35 से ज्यादा ऐप्स की सुविधा है। अन्य खासियतों में प्रीमियम Arkamys सराउंड सेंस ऑडियो सिस्टम, 64-कलर एम्बिएंट लाइटिंग, लेदरेट सीट्स, वेंटिलेटेड फ्रंट सीट्स, AQI डिस्प्ले वाला PM2.5 एयर प्यूरीफायर, एक्टिव कूलिंग वाला वायरलेस स्मार्टफोन चार्जर और इलेक्ट्रिक सनरूफ शामिल हैं।

Maruti Brezza 2026: सेफ्टी फीचर्स को किया गया अपग्रेड

Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के लॉन्च के साथ इसकी सुरक्षा को भी बेहतर बनाया गया है। अब इस नई SUV में ब्लाइंड स्पॉट वॉर्निंग के साथ लेन चेंज अलर्ट, रियर क्रॉस ट्रैफिक अलर्ट, सेफ एग्जिट वॉर्निंग, टायर प्रेशर मॉनिटरिंग सिस्टम, फ्रंट पार्किंग सेंसर और अतिरिक्त व्यूइंग मोड वाला अपग्रेडेड 360-डिग्री कैमरा जैसे फीचर्स मिलते हैं। इसके अलावा, Brezza को 5-स्टार भारत NCAP सेफ़्टी रेटिंग भी मिली है।

नई Brezza 2026 को सात एक्सीटरियर कलर ऑप्शन में पेश किया गया है, जिनमें दो नए शेड — Vivacious Orange और Lustrous Beige शामिल हैं। ग्राहक अपनी पसंद के अनुसार लुक पाने के लिए टर्बो, टेरास्केप और मेट्रोस्केप एक्सेसरी पैकेज में से भी चुन सकते हैं।

Maruti Brezza 2026: कीमत और मुकाबला

Brezza फेसलिफ्ट 2026 की शुरुआती कीमत ₹7.40 लाख (एक्स-शोरूम) है, जबकि मारुति सुज़ुकी अलग से सभी वेरिएंट्स की कीमतों की पूरी लिस्ट जारी करेगी। कंपनी के मुताबिक, अब तक 14 लाख से ज्यादा ग्राहक Brezza को अपना चुके हैं। ऐसे में मारुति को उम्मीद है कि अपडेटेड SUV भारत के तेजी से बढ़ते और प्रतिस्पर्धी कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में अपनी पकड़ और मजबूत करेगी।

नई Brezza Facelift को ऐसे समय में लॉन्च किया गया है, जब कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में कॉम्पिटिशन लगातार बढ़ रहा है। यह अपडेटेड SUV Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Mahindra XUV 3XO and Skoda Kylaq जैसे मॉडल्स को टक्कर देगी।

Maruti Suzuki Brezza Facelift 24 जुलाई को होगी लॉन्च, मिलेंगे E20 पेट्रोल के अनुकूल 2 इंजन और दमदार फीचर्स

क्या आप एक मिड साइज SUV लेने की सोच रहे हैं? अगर हां, तो Maruti Suzuki India आपके लिए एक बजट फ्रेंडली कार पेश करने जा रही है। दरअसल, देश की सबसे बड़ी कार निर्माता कंपनी 24 जुलाई को Brezza का नया फेसलिफ्ट वर्जन लॉन्च करेगी। नए अवतार में आने वाली इस SUV में कई डिजाइन और टेक्नोलॉजी अपडेट्स के साथ नए पावरट्रेन विकल्प भी देखने को मिल सकते हैं।

साल 2016 में लॉन्च होने के बाद से ही Brezza भारत में सबसे ज्यादा बिकने वाली SUVs में शामिल रही है। अब तक इस SUV की 14 लाख से ज्यादा यूनिट्स बिक ​​चुकी हैं, जिससे यह Maruti Suzuki के SUV पोर्टफोलियो में एक अहम मॉडल बन गई है।

बता दें कि पिछले हफ्ते Maruti Suzuki ने Brezza की बुकिंग शुरू कर दी थी। ग्राहक इस नए वर्जन को कंपनी की वेबसाइट या डीलरशिप के जरिए 11,000 रुपये की टोकन राशि देकर बुक कर सकते हैं।

किन SUV से है मुकाबला?

Maruti Suzuki Brezza अभी अपनी दूसरी जेनरेशन में है, जो 2022 में आई थी। पिछले कुछ सालों में, इसे अपने सबसे बड़े कॉम्पिटिटर Tata Nexon से कड़ी टक्कर मिली है, जो कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में सबसे आगे रही है। इस सेगमेंट में Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet और Mahindra XUV 3XO जैसे दमदार मॉडल भी मौजूद हैं।

इंजन और पावरट्रेन

अगर हम कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में Brezza के कॉम्पिटिटर को देखें, तो वे न सिर्फ पावरट्रेन के मामले में ज्यादा ऑप्शन देते हैं, बल्कि उनमें कई शानदार फीचर्स भी मिलते हैं। ऐसे में, मॉडल को नया बनाए रखने और बिक्री को लगातार जारी रखने के लिए एक फेसलिफ्ट की जरूरत है।

फिलहाल, Brezza में अभी 1.5-लीटर नैचुरली-एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल इंजन मिलता है, जो ज्यादा से ज्यादा 103 PS की पावर और 139 Nm का पीक टॉर्क देता है। इस इंजन के साथ 5-स्पीड मैनुअल ट्रांसमिशन या 6-स्पीड ऑटोमैटिक टॉर्क कन्वर्टर का ऑप्शन मिलता है। इसमें 5-स्पीड MT के साथ CNG का ऑप्शन (88 PS और 121 Nm) भी उपलब्ध है। उम्मीद है कि Brezza फेसलिफ्ट में ये सभी ऑप्शन बने रहेंगे।

इस SUV में सबसे बड़ा बदलाव 1.0-लीटर टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन का जुड़ना होगा। यह वही इंजन है जो अभी Maruti Suzuki Fronx में इस्तेमाल हो रहा है, जिसमें 100 PS की मैक्सिमम पावर और 148 Nm का पीक टॉर्क मिलता है। उम्मीद है कि टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन के साथ 6-स्पीड मैनुअल गियरबॉक्स मिलेगा और इसमें ऑटोमैटिक ट्रांसमिशन का ऑप्शन नहीं होगा। ऐसा शायद कीमत को कंट्रोल में रखने के लिए किया जा सकता है।

1.5-लीटर नैचुरली-एस्पिरेटेड पेट्रोल और 1.0-लीटर टर्बो पेट्रोल, दोनों इंजन E20 पेट्रोल के अनुकूल होंगे।

इसके अलावा, टर्बो पेट्रोल इंजन अपनी परफॉर्मेंस के लिए जाने जाते हैं, न कि ज्यादा माइलेज के लिए। यह बात Maruti Suzuki की उस खासियत से कुछ हद तक अलग है, जिसके लिए कंपनी ईंधन की ज्यादा बचत करने वाली कारों के लिए जानी जाती है।

फीचर्स

फीचर्स की बात करें तो, मारुति सुजुकी की कारें इस मामले में सेगमेंट में सबसे आगे नहीं हैं। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि उनमें फीचर्स की कमी है। बस बात यह है कि कॉम्पैक्ट SUV सेगमेंट में दूसरी कंपनियां ज्यादा फीचर्स देती हैं।

हालांकि, Brezza फेसलिफ्ट के साथ इसमें बड़े बदलाव हो सकते हैं। उम्मीद है कि इसमें एडवांस्ड ड्राइवर असिस्टेंस सिस्टम (ADAS), पैनोरमिक सनरूफ, बड़ी टचस्क्रीन इंफोटेनमेंट स्क्रीन, आगे की तरफ वेंटिलेटेड सीटें, एम्बिएंट लाइटिंग और डुअल-टोन अलॉय व्हील्स जैसे फीचर्स मिलेंगे।

एक्सटीरियर और इंटीरियर स्पेसिफिकेशन्स

एक्सटीरियर डिजाइन की बात करें तो इसमें ज्यादा बड़े बदलाव की उम्मीद नहीं है। इसमें फ्रंट ग्रिल और बंपर में हल्के बदलाव किए जा सकते हैं, जबकि रियर बंपर में भी थोड़ा अपडेट देखने को मिल सकता है।

मुख्य बदलाव केबिन के अंदर किए जाएंगे, ताकि इन-कैबिन फीचर्स के मामले में Brezza फेसलिफ्ट अपने कॉम्पिटिटर्स को कड़ी टक्कर दे सके।

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift leaked

The updated Maruti Suzuki Brezza is one of the most anticipated new cars in the compact segment, and ahead of its launch on July 24, the new Brezza has been spied completely undisguised at a dealership stockyard. It gets subtle cosmetic updates on the outside, important feature upgrades on the inside, but most importantly, a brand-new engine option as well. 

  1. Brezza facelift to get new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine 
  2. Interior gets new 10.1-inch touchscreen, ventilated seats, ambient lighting 
  3. Bookings for the new Brezza are already underway 

Maruti Suzuki Brezza facelift exterior and interior updates 

This is the first mid-lifecycle update for the Brezza since the second-generation model was introduced in 2022, and the updates on the outside and rather minimal. The grille design has been slightly reworked and it gets a new golden finish as opposed to the grey coloured grille on the current car. It also gets a revised bumper with repositioned fog lamps housed within triangular surrounds. The headlamps and the LED DRLs, however, remain unchanged. In profile, the only notable update includes a new set of dual-tone alloy wheels, while the rear has remained largely unchanged. 

The Brezza will get a larger 10.1-inch touchscreen and revised HVAC controls. 

The interior sees more meaningful updates, with the highlight being the 10.1-inch infotainment screen that’s also seen on the Victoris. It also adds ambient lighting, front ventilated seats and revised switchgear for the HVAC controls (also shared with the Victoris). There’s also use of new gloss-black trim materials or the dashboard and door pads. On the safety front, the Brezza now gets front parking sensors and it is also expected to come with LEVEL 2 ADAS suite. 

Maruti Suzuki Brezza new engine and specs 

The biggest update on the Brezza is the addition of a new engine option. It now gets the 1.0-litre Boosterjet turbo-petrol engine from the Fronx. This 3-cylinder engine is expected to produce 110hp and 170Nm, meaning it will come in a higher state if tune than what it is offered with on the Fronx. Transmission options, however, will be limited to just a 6-speed manual gearbox. Crucially, this engine will finally allow the Brezza to qualify for the sub-4m tax slab. 

Other upgrades will include new alloys, ambient lighting and ventilated front seats. 

The new 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine is expected to be offered alongside the existing 103hp, 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine. The CNG kit paired to this engine is also expected to continue, but it’s now expected to have the Victoris CNG-like underbody tank setup.

It will be interesting to see how Maruti prices the new Brezza. Despite the cosmetic and equipment upgrades, the 1.0-litre engine should help bring down the prices given that it finally qualifies for the sub-4m tax bracket. Whether it undercuts the existing Brezza or is priced roughly the same remains to be seen. For reference, the Brezza currently has an ex-showroom price of Rs 8.26 lakh to Rs 12.86 lakh. It will continue to take on rivals like the Hyundai Venue, Tata Nexon, Skoda Kylaq, Mahindra XUV 3XO, Kia Sonet and Syros.

3 reasons to buy the Mahindra XUV 3XO and 2 to skip it

Mahindra XUV 3XO front quarter

In the crowded compact SUV segment, the XUV 3XO is among the few models that offers petrol and diesel engine options plus a variety of transmission choices. Mahindra brought the XUV 3XO to market in 2024 as a successor to the XUV300, and it’s the home-grown automaker’s smallest SUV. If you’re interested in buying the Mahindra XUV 3XO which, for reference, is priced between Rs 7.79 lakh and Rs 15.04 lakh (ex-showroom), here are its key pros and cons you must consider.

Reasons to buy the Mahindra XUV 3XO

Punchy powerplants

The direct-injection turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel engines allow strong performance

The XUV 3XO’s 1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol engine pushes out 131hp and up to 250Nm of torque. Despite being a three-cylinder engine, this ‘mStallion’ unit is noticeably refined and provides power with eagerness. This eagerness can be a bit tricky to manage at low speeds, but the Zip, Zap and Zoom drive modes come in handy to help fine-tune the driving experience. The mid-range power delivery of this petrol engine is good, too. Then there’s the Aisin-sourced 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which operates smoothly and shifts in a timely manner.

For those who prefer an oil burner, there’s the 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel engine. It produces 117hp and 300Nm of torque – the latter being the highest in the segment. There’s also no hint of turbocharger lag even at low speeds. While refinement is just about decent, this diesel unit’s ample power is spread well throughout the rev range. This, along with a 6-speed AMT (automated manual transmission) gearbox, makes long-distance cruising on the highway a relaxing experience. Meanwhile, the base engine option of the XUV 3XO is an 115hp, 1.2-litree three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with multi-point fuel injection.

Gifted handler

The XUV 3XO can handle paved and unpaved surfaces without breaking a sweat

The Mahindra XUV 3XO not only has pace on its side, its confidence-inspiring brakes mean that it’s also adept at dropping anchors at a moment’s notice. The XUV 3XO’s suspension is a bit firm, but it still manages to take on bad roads with verve – there’s a feeling of toughness to this SUV that inspires confidence no matter the surface condition.

The suspension also provides enough travel and there’s no issue with ground clearance either. This sense of surefootedness comes to the fore when you tackle corners, and even though the steering isn’t that precise, there’s plenty of grip on offer.

Premium interior, lengthy equipment list

Although rivals have caught on, the XUV 3XO’s interior is modern and well-equipped

The dual-tone interior theme of the Mahindra XUV 3XO looks premium and sports soft-touch materials as well. The perforated leather-wrapped steering wheel feels upmarket to hold, while other touchpoints such as the steering-mounted stalks and power-window switches on the doors feel just as nice to use. Where he front seats can feel narrow for some, the rear ones are spacious and comfortable even if you choose to carry three adults there.

Mahindra XUV 3XO rear seats

The rear seats are well-padded, whilst kneeroom and footroom aren’t lacking either. Adding to the convenience at the back are the AC vents, a centre armrest with cupholders, and two charging ports. Features included on higher variants are a 65W fast charger at the front, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a wireless charging tray, dual-zone automatic climate control, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, Dolby Atmos, a panoramic sunroof, a cooled glovebox, 360-degreem camera, an electric parking brake with auto hold, and a Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) suite.

Reasons to not buy the Mahindra XUV 3XO

Limited cargo space

This isn’t the SUV for you if you haul loads of luggage regularly

Mahindra XUV 3XO boot

Users can find hauling luggage in or out of the XUV 3XO’s boot tiresome because of the low boot floor and high loading lip. And while there’s 295 litres of cargo space, this is far lower than what most rivals offer in this segment. The lack of a parcel shelf also means that any items you do store in this boot will remain visible to those peeking in.

Pricey top variants

The XUV 3XO is one of the most expensive cars in the segment

The Mahindra XUV 3XO’s top variants are some of the most expensive offerings in the compact SUV segment. And while the Hyundai Venue’s range-topping variants are pricier still, they pack even more features and the car itself is newer than the XUV 3XO.

3 reasons to buy the Kia Sonet, 2 reasons not to

Kia Sonet front quarter tracking

First introduced in 2020, the Sonet was Kia’s second model for India. As the Korean carmaker’s answer to the compact SUV segment, the Sonet is aimed at buyers looking for a stylish and feature-rich option. The Sonet last received a comprehensive facelift in 2024 that introduced a fresh exterior and new features. If you’re interested in the Sonet, below are reasons to consider buying one and reasons why it may not be the car for you.

Reasons to buy

Well-built cabin

The cabin of the Sonet is a great place to be in. Irrespective of the trim level, you’ll get a cabin that’s well put together. Fit and finish in most sections of the interior is great for the price and class. The dashboard trim has a textured finish, the physical buttons have tactile feedback, and the chunky steering wheel with well-crafted buttons feels good to hold. Depending on the trim level, the Sonet offers five interior and seat finish colours.  

Feature list

In the features department, the Sonet is among the better-equipped SUVs in the segment. Top-spec versions come packed with features like dual 10.25-inch screens for the digital driver’s display and infotainment display, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, front seat ventilation, powered driver seat, single-pane sunroof, traction modes, drive modes, air purifier, Bose audio system, and a wireless phone charger. On the safety front, the Sonet comes with level 1 ADAS, a 360-degree camera, front parking sensors and a blind-view monitor.

Wide range of powertrains

The Sonet has one of the most diverse powertrain ranges in its class. Three engine options are on offer, including an 88hp 115Nm, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engine, a 120hp, 172Nm 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, and a 115hp 250Nm, 1.5-litre diesel engine. A 6-speed manual is standard on both the turbo-petrol and diesel engines, while the former also offers a 7-speed DCT, and the latter can also be paired to a 6-speed torque converter automatic. The naturally aspirated petrol engine is solely mated with a 5-speed manual gearbox.

Reasons to not buy

Rear seat space

If space at the back is a top priority for you, the Sonet may not be the compact SUV of choice. The seat backs are a little too inclined, while knee room and foot room are on the lower side. Taller passengers especially will find the rear seat cramped. It does, however, try to compensate with creature comforts like retractable sunshades, rear AC vents, Type-C ports, and an armrest.

Lumpy ride comfort

Overall, the ride comfort of the Kia Sonet lacks the plushness that one expects. The suspension is inherently firm, and it fails to filter through smaller road imperfections, leading to a busy ride. Sharp potholes make their presence known prominently in the cabin. Additionally, its small wheelbase also contributes to a choppy ride setup.

3 reasons to buy the Toyota Taisor and 2 not to

Toyota Taisor rear quarter static

If you are in the market for a compact Toyota SUV, then the Urban Cruiser Taisor is your only option. The Toyota Urban Cruiser Taisor shares a lot of components and feature set with its Maruti Suzuki brethren and is aimed at those who want the premiumness associated with the Toyota badge. Before signing on the dotted line, however, here are a few key facts of the Toyota Taisor you need to keep in mind. First up, the pros…

Capable powertrain

Peppy turbo engine pairs especially well with the automatic gearbox

One of the biggest pros of the Toyota Taisor lies under the bonnet. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with direct injection produces 100hp and 148Nm of torque. This engine makes up for its lack of outright cubic capacity by being eager to rev all the way up to a redline of 6,000rpm. Not only is it peppy and responsive, but this three-pot unit has a linear power delivery – all the while remaining smooth and refined.

Then there’s the 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox, which is offered with the G and V trims of the Taisor. Like the turbo-petrol engine, this transmission is smooth in its operation too. It also responds promptly to the steering-mounted paddle shifters, and in manual mode, this gearbox does not upshift automatically, increasing driver engagement even more. All of this pays dividends, as we clocked the Taisor Turbo achieving the sprint from 0-100kph in 11.86 seconds. For reference, that’s slightly quicker than the 120hp Kia Sonet with the DCT. The 5-speed manual gearbox of the Taisor is also a pleasure to use, thanks to its light and tactile operation.

Confident handler

Firm suspension and light steering come together well in the Taisor

While the stiffly sprung suspension of the Taisor feels a bit busy at low speeds, things change as the speed climbs. The inherent stiffness inspires confidence as the car feels stable even at triple-digit speeds. At low speeds, the light steering of the Taisor makes lane changes and parking manoeuvres easy to execute. The small turning radius aids manoeuvrability further.

Sorted ergonomics and comfort

Easily accessible controls and comfy rear seats make settling in fuss-free

Toyota Taisor interior

Along with the adjustable seat, tilt and telescopic adjustment for the steering makes getting into a comfortable driving position in the Taisor quite easy. All the controls fall to hand easily, and there’s also an adjustable centre armrest for the driver, that will come in handy over long drives, especially in the case of the automatic version.

Toyota Taisor rear seats

The cabin feels spacious despite the relatively compact size of this car, while the rear seats are comfortable and offer good legroom as well. Adding to this comfort factor and overall safety at the back are features such as rear AC vents, USB Type-C ports, three headrests and three-pointed seatbelts. Also useful is the 360-degree camera system, which helps navigating tight parking spots less tense.

However, the Toyota Taisor is not without its cons. Here are the important ones.

Missing features

The Taisor isn’t as well-equipped as some rivals

Toyota Taisor 360-degree camera

While the 360-degree camera is good to have, its low resolution impacts usability to an extent, especially in poor weather or in the dark. The Taisor doesn’t get load sensors for the rear seats, which means the belt reminder chime will go on for 90 seconds unless they are properly buckled. Other missing features here include a powered sunroof, ventilated seats, LED ambient lighting, powered front seats, leatherette upholstery, a rear centre armrest, ADAS and a larger infotainment screen, to name a few.

Sub-optimal insulation and plastic quality

These issues are not as prevalent in newer compact SUVs

Toyota Taisor plastic quality

There’s no dearth of hard plastics in the Taisor’s cabin, with much of the surfaces being covered in sub-optimal plastic trim. Sound insulation also leaves a lot to be desired, as road and engine noises seep into the cabin easily.
