Kia Sonet vs Maruti Suzuki Brezza: which should you buy?
The Kia Sonet and the Maruti Suzuki Brezza cost much the same to get into, at ₹7.41L and ₹7.40L ex-showroom Delhi.
They run together up to ₹13.55L, where the Brezza tops out. Past that only the Sonet has anything left to sell you, up to ₹14.27L.
Fuel is a real difference here: the Sonet comes in petrol and diesel, the Brezza in petrol and CNG.
Same money, which car?
Take ₹13.55L to both showrooms and you come out with the Sonet HTX at ₹12.30L or the Brezza ZXi+ at ₹13.55L, the Sonet leaving ₹1.25L of that in your pocket.
Our take
The real reason to pay ₹1.25L more for the Brezza ZXi+: 360° camera, blind spot monitor and head-up display. The useful extras on top: touchscreen (10.1" against 8") and connected car tech. The rest of the additions are minor trim. At that price, we would stretch.
- Also on the Brezza ZXi+: wired CarPlay / Android Auto, and some minor trim beyond that
- Going to the Brezza ZXi+, you give up all-wheel disc brakes, 4-way powered driver seat and drive modes, which the Sonet HTX keeps
- Choose the Kia Sonet HTX if
- You would rather keep the ₹1.25L than pay for kit you will not miss
- Choose the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi+ if
- You live on your phone in the car and want the screens to keep up
