Kia Sonet vs Maruti Suzuki Fronx: Very few automobiles are fit for the poorly maintained roads. The best of them are SUVs, thanks to their higher ground clearance and stronger engines. Despite the widespread misperception that SUVs cost more than sedans, a number of manufacturers provide SUVs at competitive prices. This article contrasts and compares the Maruti Suzuki Fronx and the Kia Sonet, two of the best affordable SUVs.
The Maruti Fronx is powered by a 1.2-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with 89bhp and 113Nm of torque and a 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine with 99bhp and 147Nm of torque. A five-speed manual, an AMT, and a torque converter automatic with six speeds are available. In comparison, the Sonet's 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine delivers 82 horsepower and 115 Nm of torque and is paired to a five-speed manual transmission. A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay is included in the Sonet's cabin.
