Most Helpful Review

Family Car

Kia sonet is indeed a good car. it offers a stylish design, A range of modern features with good fuel efficiency. Kia Sonet is a compact SUV. It is a family car.

Underrated Flagship

1) Nexa dealership experience was very responsive and helpful you will get it across almost all the nexa showroom. 2)Before purchasing any car test drive is most important, during that duration i test drive nexon and scross, Nexon is punchy and powerful but i love the calmness and comfort of scross which make it a perfect family car. 3) Personally i love the looks of s-cross, it is elegant and classy which means it will age well due to larger front grill, the performance of this car will not disappoint you because of punchy 103 hp, my family members love the ample amount of cabin space, for the longer journey the cabin size is decent. 4)I have done 2 free services from nexa suggested service centre and till now i have no issues with them, they will persuade you for coating. 5)Pros - Excellent cabin space, punchy engine, comfortable suspension, awesome exterior looks. Cons- Interior should be updated like a competitor, Seating upholstery, Lack of rear ac vents.
