Re: Mild Hybrid vs Diesel dilemma | Maruti Grand Vitara vs Kia Sonet

I always felt that a car should be enjoyed to its fullest and for that one has to get its top spec variant, but with the recent trends of price hikes, I may have to look back on that. However, I would recommend you getting the Kia Sonet GTX+ Diesel AT with all the bells and whistles so that you can enjoy everything that the Sonet has to offer.

I do agree and yes, the GTX+ was my first choice. Wife found the Sonet to be smaller in the backseat, hence going for the Seltos

Venue is very similar to the sonet. Yes, Venue had a smaller rear seat. And They have fixed it in the newest 2022 model.
If you are open to Hyundai, you can check that too. Btw, what was the waiting period quoted for Seltos? Hyundai is quoting 3 months for Venue D.

Seltos waiting period is quoted as 2 months. However, they have said it might arrive early as the Blue colour is being supplied more. And also, many does not take delivery this month owing to auspicious reasons. So fingers crossed.

Here she is. Looking at the dust accumulated overnight, maintaining this colour will be a pain. Hopefully the ceramic coating will help in avoiding the swirl marks.
