Price
Start with the price because half of the decision is fixed here. Kia Sonet’s on-road Mumbai price ranges between ₹8.58 lakhs to ₹16.97 lakhs. At the same time, Hyundai Venue’s new-generation price goes from ₹9.29 lakh to ₹18.91 lakh.
That is, Venue overall is more expensive. If the budget is a little tight, Sonet can become an attractive option. But it is not right to decide just by looking at the price.
Design
Sonet is known for its sharp and sporty look when it comes to design and road presence. Its compact design makes him fun and easy maneuverable to run in the city. On the other hand the design of Venue seems a bit mature, wide and imposing, due to which its presence on the road feels a bit much.
Features
The Kia Sonet was equipped with a fairly modern tech in the 2023 facelift. Not at all lacking 10.25-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch digital cluster, 7-speaker BOSE system, sunroof, ventilated seats, powered driver seat, drive modes, wireless charger and Level 1 ADAS Features.
Venue gives everything to it and also adds a little extra. Hyundai has made it more premium than things like 12.3-inch large digital cluster, 12.3-inch touchscreen, 8-speaker BOSE system, wireless Android Auto-CarPlay, Level 2 ADAS, 2-step reclining rear seats and aroma diffuser.
