Is the XUV 3XO BETTER than the Kia Sonet? | PowerDrift
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- As one of our favourite sub four-metre SUVs, the Kia Sonet scores well in nearly every single department. And while its sales figures might not suggest it, it is our benchmark in the segment. Now though, Mahindra too wants to take a swing for the king with the XUV 3XO. Which of these two compact SUVs will win? Karan Singh finds out.

WOW! A professional car reviewer saying that they would want the niceness over safety (just in a fancier way). You folks are supposed to inform and educate the customers, not encourage bad practices.
just being honest - NCAP ratings are a criteria to consider, not the be-all and end-all of car buying as its portrayed
@@carswithkaranpls do a review on i20 Nline manual.
@@carswithkaranFirst you need your life to experience everything. If you ride safe you are not safe in India. For every car in India safety should be the first priority.
If safety is above everything , than let’s conclude that no bikes , rickshaws and tractors are to be allowed to sell in India , infact only criteria should be safety so that no one buys anything below Mercedes and other luxury cars , because even with 5 star in Tata and mahindra they still lack in safety compared to Mercedes and bmw !! You see what I did there ? Who are you to question the benchmark for safety ?? For me it could be bmw for some other could be something else , be empathetic towards people who stretch and buy cars that are not problematic and have quality issues , every one has their own right , yea we need safety cars but it isn’t the only thing
@@sunnywoah Bikes , rickshaws and tractors are unsafe you are correct. But is he doing a bike review? Line is not completely about riding a vehicle there are other things to explore too. So you need life first. If you’re walking on the road do you walk in the center? Every person is concerned about safety. I don’t say it is the safest car but a small difference may change your life. Who said BMW or Audi is completely safe 😂.Just sit inside it and test it by driving off a cliff.
The fact you guys didn't fly Sonet like 3XO says a lot about chassis dynamics & suspension quality. 3XO for me anyday😅
That's why they shown it. He is indirectly saying 3XO is better in safety and build quality
Omg, they didn't include a shot of them driving a car too fast over a bump and jumping it, MUST mean that the car can't do it and not that they didn't need to or can't exactly keep jumping cars on public roads💀
@@prithviraj.r5734 Fine Sonet fan boy, your car is the best 😆
@@prithviraj.r5734 Come on Buddy, Dont try to too hard to defend a Venue with makeup in so many comments, take rest have water 🥛. True car lovers, know to appreciate other vehicles where they excel.
@@DrMS96 😂😂
" I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself" ,
such a stupid statement to make
You can only do your part in not crashing your car right? Having high ratings isn't an invitation to drive at 120+ anyways and people drive at 200 cuz it's gErMaN or its 5 sTaRs💀
Those are the ones who might just cause these accidents
And as for the stationary situation, what can you do if you're in a safer car anyways? Dings from behind or ahead at 40-60 won't harm you seriously, now if some idiot T bones you at 120 while crossing a junction, you aren't getting saved, 5 star cars get tested at 30 something kph for side impact. As for front on impacts, depends on luck, but 5 star or not, you're not walking away without whiplash at the least cuz airbags keep the head safe for the most part, what's vulnerable is more the legs and chassis flex, we'll have to wait on a report for that data though
@@prithviraj.r5734 whatever stats you come up with but a safer car is always a boon. there could be N number of use cases but when it comes to impact management a stable shell vehicle should always be a preference.
@@prithviraj.r5734 This is the type of mindset which encourages manufacturers to prioritize features or 'feel good factors' instead of safety.
Yea are right having 5 stars doesn't mean u can drive at ridiculous speeds and get away with it , but our roads are so unpredictable and safer drivers also get impacted severely (most buyers just know how to drive forget safe driving).
Ultimately its left to the buyer (who watch these reviews) so we expect more from channels like Power Drift to emphasize on the right things .
@@prithviraj.r5734u should b offered health ministery position...
Ur logic is very inspiring and insightful....
We basterds won't understand things...
@@xzee156 I don't know if this is sarcasm or you're being serious😬
You can give you opinion saying you like Sonet better, not an issue as it is your personal preference. But disregarding the safety rating all together with an excuse that “i will try to become a better driver” is childish nonsense.
You also have a responsibility to encourage companies to not cut corners on safety.
A person minding his own business and walking on a footpath can also be involved in an accident. You cant make others become a better driver
Sonet is safe too ,I witnessed a live accident where the driver just dumped the vehicle into 8ft deep in an under construction canal. Speed 70-80 kmph . Damage was minimum and all passengers and driver were safe .
well this comment i was looking for, safety matters and can't disregarded with such a kiddish excuse cause sometimes, its not your fault but the fault of other driver
@@aftabpathan3148I asked Kia store representative about steel strength combination used in sonet. No answers from them. They accepted it can get only 2 to 3 stars.
Wiser than bribed journo❤❤
@@aftabpathan3148 one crash doesn't mattter. it was nowhere as scientific, so cannot be taken for all scenarios. That's why calculated crash tests are done in the first place.
Such a disappointing video power drift . This video was clearly in favour of kia . And you really just said a fancier car is better than a safe car ????? . Such a shame
Exactly, the ride quality of sonet is 3rd class in front of 3x0, so much noise, lack of power, shortness in gear powers and not a point of soft touch without dual tone interior😢
3XO anyday for ugly exterior looks. @@RS-nh3hn
Prefer niceness over safety and try to be a better driver? How about someone else being a shit driver while you are in the "nicer" car?
Will hire another journalist...
😂😂
😂😂
I skipped 2 20 second ads just to watch a 5 min ad for sonet 😢
Hilarious
😂
So true.....😂... people these days will promote just about anything given the money.
underrated comment
😂 😂 😂
Power drift is sold to Sonet. Level 2 Adas, 5 star safety is far superior than Sonet's thudding suspension and low visibility windows
Exactly
Just one statement i would respectfully disagree is the safety statement that you gave, its not always your perception towards safety that saves you, a lot of time other might be at fault, which will lead you to a crash , safe car always helps you there. As a big automobile RUclipsr, rather than defending the poor built quality of cars, you should have pointed that out, so that viewers can have an unbiased take. If the safety was just a driving behaviour thing then the developed countries wouldn’t have been so strict about it. Please make responsible decisions so that the indian automakers also prioritise this.
the decision is yours to take, which is why i said for me personally
@carswithkaran.....you are reviewing, your personal opinion means powerdrift opinion, not individual.
@@carswithkaran When you post videos publicly then you have responsibility to say things which are fare for the public, not to Just make money out of YT.
Cause of "Unwanted pregnancy".
Very well said! This is very important esp in cities like Bangalore where the driving sense is horrific. Even if you follow the rules, someone will come & ram into your vehicle. Also Kia feels like an oversized hatchback.
The GYAAN at 4:15 is outright STUPID! Safety over features ALWAYS
True, while buying any vehicle, safety measures should be thought of as " safety in uncontrollable situations" which is outside our control, like other drivers and road conditions.
Tech is not the basics you need in the car. First things first A good engine, Safety and a good ride quality. Probably the biggest reason i would go for xuv is the ride quality vs sonet
I would take the XUV over Sonet solely for the rear passenger leg room - I'm 5'11 and the shortest male in my family and everybody complained about this aspect when we checked out Sonet at the dealership...it's worse than our previous 13 year old hatchback - i20
90% of people don't buy cars to just hit the basics.
The features are a feel good factor and people like to show off too.
@@aritra25 100% agreed... I have friend in marketing and he told me the most asked about feature nowadays is the 'Sunroof'. Hence we have variants with sunroof but no rear defogger or wiper 🤷
@@TheTwinPost Sonet HTX variant is a classic example of your statement. The car has sunroof and ventilated seats but no rear washer wiper defogger. A clear miss for those damn good rainy days.
But what about reliability of engine also about the lag in the touchscreen and if the power is the best in segment but why did it takes 15 sec for the 0 to 100 in diesel Mt 😂
" I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself" ,
such a stupid statement to make
Worst review ever watched on RUclips
What made it even worse was the dumb statement of the kiddo
Flawd Review / Opinion - @4:21 - This guy will go for "Nicer Car with Safer driving style"... Most foolish statement used in sales pitch by false product peddlers & narrow minded fanboys..
Avoid such foolish takes even if you are going to recommend Kia Sonet in this case... Statement has literal headless chicken vibes.
" I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself" ,
Bro thought he was making a Badass statement but people see him as Dumbass supporting for badass SUV
Dumbest review ever 😂
How do you guys make literally a 5 mins comparison video and still get away with it? 🤔 😅
Wow a tincan with weaker engine is better 👏👏
Looks like brand ambassador of Kia Sonet.
clearly. Just bcoz of ventilated seats and electronic seat adjustment he gave sonet a 10 out of 10 when clearly XUV 3XO is a better all rounder. If he were a cricket team selector he would have chosen only batsmens and no bowler or allrounder. Simple quote if all my batters could hit 100 runs whats the need for bowlers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@AmitGupta-ki6gb True. Better build quality, powerful engine, spacious rear seat, first vehicle with level 2 ADAS under 15 lakhs and in the segment all are out of the picture here🤣
Agr wo reply padh rha ho usee akhri dum tk yaad rhega Bhai 😂😂 kitna khtrnak jawab Diya h 😂😂. @@AmitGupta-ki6gb
Seriously? You’d prefer a car with more features instead of a car with good safety rating? Let’s see you work on your safe driving when someone hits you while you are stationary.
But what about realiblity of the engine only safety doesn't makes the car best
@@avishkarthorat1467 engine bekar h kya mx1 ka long-term use k liye
sonet ka engine bhuout purana hai and sucessfull bhi hai so iss engine pe trust kar sakate ho uss ka mahindra ke engines ke servis cost zyada hotihai
I’m surprised with the features over safety comment. That too coming from a seasoned professional like you who I admire. You’ve endorsed what the whole of India thinks however - it’s always features over safety. Explains why poorly built
Cars are best sellers here !
He evn hv to get managed to pay his EMI of iPhone... too
really unprofessional video ... niceness over safety??
Snazzy and polished way of stating that a lesser powered / lesser secure car is the better one. Get a life powerdrift..!!! Unsubscribed from today.
Death in a nicer cabin over travel in safer one? Hats off sir🫡
Can say it as Quality d€ath..?
Ridiculous review. Lol
Seriously?! You would work on becoming a safer driver? Try becoming a bit smarter first. Go buy the KIA for all we care, but don't make such stupid statements.
Feel good features preferred over safety... And topping it up with "I'll rather become a safer driver" !???
So you can avoid incidents like another vehicle hitting yours while you have parked or simply crossing the street on a green signal but someone decided to jump red light at relatively high speed.
Posting on a commercial channel and quoting "My personal opinion" then defending that.
Every single one of you represent Powerdrift if it's posted on the channel.
Car manufacturers will continue to play with human life when they have promoters like these 😊
Most do them like mahindra cars in terms of engine and build quality apart from tech z xuv 3x0 bz it’s a powerful beast 🔥
Disregarding the safety rating all together with an excuse that “i will try to become a better driver” is childish nonsense.
You also have a responsibility to encourage companies to not cut corners on safety. Fuckers like this have made sunroof a essential feature instead of mandatory 6 air bags
Let sonet fly like 3xo 😂then will see which car is better 😂
Really feeling ashamed when you guys are defending the kia's less safety and suggesting self improvisation on self driving
What a joke that was
For me the most imp is the safety which mahindra offers on 3x0 rather than your ventilated seats and other luxury
How tf are these jacked up hatchbacks demanding 15 lakhs+ ?
Have the tax slab increased again for
Lower variants exist, no one is forcing you to buy top end cars, and even the brand's know this, top end cars are for the flashiness, the rich who can spend on it, the lower variant and their VFM is what matters
For just under 14L You can get the DCT turbo with ventilated seats (must in this temp), and all electronic safety amenities and those disc brakes and 6 airbags in the HTX variant, it's more than enough🤷♂️
@@prithviraj.r5734 i know that.
But still paying 14L for this segment is absurd.
Stop justifying it by having some features. I remember when their top end were around 12L tops & it was still ok.
The starting prices are low, however top variants are expensive for all🫢
@@DolphinsAreBetterThanHumans you do realise, no sane man buys a sonet as their first car unless they are rich right? 14L is not much to rich guys and I'm getting it for 10L cuz I'm exchanging my car, in that sense, it's always a purchase worth doing, 10L and I get ventilated seats, DCT, turbo engine and Kia quality interiors and premiumness, it's definitely an upgrade on the WagonR I have😭
@@prithviraj.r5734 I was planning for xuv 3xo as my first car. As a middle class guy reading your comment makes me feel guilty now.
It just sounds funny, how these journalists use such a big platform to foolishly say, " I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself". Call the old pals, or this channel will fall off.
My only problem with KIA is that they don't provide manual gear box on higher variants.
one thing missing
Branded content of KIA
This video is like South Bombay kid reviewing a car 😂 no objectives assessment just looks looks😂 premium comfort 😂😂
3XO is much better pkg, much better drivability, even better comfort for longer run and cheap on the pocket 😊
it isnt cheaper boss, sorry, mahindra engines r not at all efficient and not comfortable especially 3xo
Iska engine thik nhi h long-term me? koi btao yr @@shannonrego6517
You missed an important thing, 3xO is more powerful.
i see everyone is bashing Karan over his statement about safety, but honestly he has a point. Sure, safety is paramount, and sometimes when you get in an accident it's not your fault. But defensive driving exists, and it's not like sonet is a 0 star car. IMO, it's better to be a safe driver in a 3 star car (or more since Sonet facelift was never tested) than to be an overconfident driver in a 5 star car.
How about I prefer to be a safer driver in a 5* rated car. Afterall I could not control careless drivers like Rishabh Pant.
I agree 👍🏻 I'm a proud safe driver of spresso...
do you even at what speeds these crash tests are done and in what speeds accidents happen generally? more the speed, higher the chances of your 5star rated car saving you. 3star rated will become 1star at 100+ kmph. First, you should learn physics.
@@shreyass9922 lol if a car couldn't withstand at 64 kmph chances of it being able to withstand a 80 to 100 kmph speed is zero. A 5* rated car or suv will perform much better even at high speeds compared to a zero or 1 star rated vehicle. You could prefer those maruti coffins in interest of mileage and cheap repairs.
@@AmitGupta-ki6gb do you even understand what I told? 😂😂
Nice! How much money from kia?
3XO white interior looks airy & spacious, Sonet dark interior feels claustrophobic & suffocation.
But 3XO bootspace gayi tel lene..😅
Purely a one sided review.. There are a lot of genuine reviewers out there, learn from them.
Let's be logical, you need a family car, a car that allows 3 people to sit "Comfortably" in the rear row, safety and features that are good to have. Go for the AX5, IMO best value for money variant with the segment best engine and one more thing, support Indian brands if you can.
Bro what ever you say xuv 3x0 is the best and 10/10 because
1. Safety priority number one
2. Performance
3. Confront
But these are missing in kia sonet so it gets 8.5/10 only for the looks the point got increased by 2.5.
what a lame script .. really you are suggesting to go for features over safety? dude sheer disappointment !
Kitna diya Kia ne khud ko bachane k liye ?
What a bias review. 😡
compare the diesel pls. Sonet and 3x0
XUV 3XO is far better than Sonet!
in terms of technicalities and comfort..
Wowo.. what an inspiring review .. giving big heads up to car manufacturers to concentrate on looks and not safety !! Jerk.. media houses should be careful about airing such opinions .. freedom of expression.. but at what cost !!
How beautiful professional in reviewing just splendid😮.. other renowned car reviewers and channels are nothing what they shows actually like you did. It's beautiful protected, explained and editing and sound just amazing woww❤❤ gain one subscriber 🥳
What will u do of a great engine if the car isnt safe...crap logic... Seems like an ad of sonet... The crappy sales of sonet suggest it has been rejected outright by market...
exactly. It is nowhere close to even its own cousin Venue.
Sonet's engine isn't any great. 3xO's engines are 🔥, either diesel or petrol. Diesel engine of 3xO is 🔥🔥
Given the blatant disregard for Performance and Safety(things which arguably make a car a car) from you.
Here's my recommendation: Buy an Ipad, a pair of good headphones and take a premium uber. DON'T Drive. Literally, Arrive there!
Many few people actually realize the fact that the Kia Sonet is the most affordable car with a proper diesel automatic transmission option 😎
agreed. when you are looking for a proper diesel automatic Kia Sonet is the only sub 4 meter to make it possible.
Confused btw Kia Sonet diesel auto and Xuv 3xo auto? Just bought Sonet top model diesel auto did I make right decision not buying xuv3xo?
@@areenkolekar1263 Yep you did the right thing. 3XO Diesel offers AMT automatic which is bad vs TC in Sonet. For Petrol automatic, I am going for 3XO. So as a future 3XO owner, you fid the right thing as far as diesel is concerned. Petrol is much more closer.
Imagine you working on really becoming a safer driver yourself but a drunk drivers hits you head on. I am sure those skill shall save!!!
Sorry, with all the respect - the comparison is not making much sense here. Because Sonet has the best premium features or the luxury car feel but it also misses out the major feature like sunroof, ADAS and most important safey rating. On the other hand, 3X0 does not have ventilated seats, power adjusting driver seat but it has come newly this year and it has come with a bang with plenty of features. I still would perfer 3X0 over sonet as of today.
If all the guys supporting xuv 3xo would have bought it earlier then mahindra might have at least retained the name.
Underpowered, Crampy, Unsafe, Old School Features, Small Car, its not even an SUV but a CrossOver I10... Shittiest Looks
1/10 - Sonet
0 Sales
Don't know why pay Firangs for their Shit...😊
Just a gentle reminder. Not everyone buys the top spec variant costing 15-16Lakhs. Most sales comes from mid spec variants. So try to compare those.
And also disregarding safety with niceness😂, I would like to see you survive a crash in a nice car rather than a 5star safety rating car.
This time I will definitely say
It's a clear win for Mahindra XUV 3XO.
No hate for other rivals like
Nexon, Venue N-line & Sonet
But XUV beats them all in every department!
Priced really well
Best safety
Best features
Most powerful
What more can you ask for !?
Sonet and Nexon still looks the best ❤
Sonet is simply wow at looks. specially this X Line. Just gives that Fast and Furious like feel.
So weird statement from PowerDrift "I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself".
These top moto vloggers should encourage OEM's towards safest cars & the statement goes exact opposite!!
In terms of all particallty specially mx2 pro has more value for money option you got better space powerful engine new cabin just one thing is missing less boot space but they provide best in segment space & best in class panaromic sunroof look can be subjective matter here
I dislike this video just because, reviewer is using fency words to cover up negative points which he wants to promote. And using very praise worthy words for which he wants to promote.
Also the after sales service is impeccable of Kia. I purchased the HTX 7DCT variant and I am Fully satisfied with the performance.
Same goes with Mahindra. They have a fantabulous service network. even in small villages of Kerala I got my KUV 100 serviced properly for a mishap I suffered in a jungle adventure.
Features >>>> safety ?
😂😂😂😂 Chhapri ka review hai ye to
And this is where your downfall starts disappointed powerdrift !!!
The 'safety" sheep in the comments are like Modi andhbhakts. Got no idea what they're talking about just pushing the narrative for its own sake.😂
Sonnet 😂😂 features over safety, buryy your favortism work on your safety don't be jokers nomore pdarmy duck
The way in which this guy show superiority of sonet over XUV despite not having shows this guy may like sonet personally and hate 3XO,
Mahindra has significantly enhanced its powertrain and features, although it still falls short in terms of premium perception. Nonetheless, it's commendable to see it achieving comparability. Perhaps, with the forthcoming 4XO model, we can anticipate even greater refinement and a more premium experience.
The stupidest thing I ever heard... "Rather have a nicer car"
You know you can be a safer driver even on a safer car right ??
Powerddrift was better at some point
Everything said is fine...but prefering nicest features over safety...tat too frm a expert...shame!!! Respect lost!!
Mahindra is not reliable, showroom workers still crying in the comment box,
Xuv 300 was least selling car in the segment
Pathetic statement by you guys. You can work on being a safer driver and choose nicest cad which is unsafe but what will u do about the way other people are driving? What if someone comes and collide with you?
4:17 What a bullshit to cover up unsafe cars. What if someone hits you without your fault? How you being a good driver will save you. Stop promoting unsafe cars for a better future.
Poor content kids. Just bring own orginal content than sponsered screams.
4:20 he was actually high while saying all that he said.
Ventilated seats over safety 😊
You write home about your speakers ?😅
I drove 3xo yesterday on 150 smooth as butter. Full control best ac best dynamics in this price
Doesn’t get a panaromic sunroof in which dynamics you say its fancier aur hn looks ki bat kar rahe ho toh black wali leke ana 3xo ki tab pata chalega looks
Hahaha....Indian buyer's already fascinating with features of Kia & you also misguide them over safety, I think our Life is more precious than features 😊.
Not cool to be flippant about safety esp in a country like India where you don't know when a truck in the opposite direction decides to smash your car to bits
"I'd rather have a nicer car and work on being a safer driver myself" - the stupidest statement any auto journalist has ever made.
Is this really worth paying so much not sure bcs top end variants get all base is like dabba hahah
Just to add context to MOST OF REPUTED REVIEWERS, they are mostly given the top end variants of every new launched vehicle so as to give their own take to the best of company's offerings. Overall the ordinary middle class man goes on to get updates from these reviewers (just to clear, i am not criticising them for their reviews as they are only giving us points based on the vehicle models they have been given to test) and try to make decisions based on the choices offered by top end variants of vehicles.
However adding on to that, people who actually want to purchase a new vehicle can only get fair idea about general dynamics of a vehicle atleast for the initial phase till the time deliveries start and other reviewers like DDS and others which offers ownership reviews to give more proper picture on what the average customer is facing.
why ppl dont talk about the manual version these days !
I prefer kia sonet over 3x0.
I can say previous xuv 300 is looki g better than this.
Please promote safety on your channel. That statement was rubbish. Safety rating matters over electronics and high tech features.
Accident - an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally, typically resulting in damage or injury.
So u r not god to save urself
0:32 Starting of the video with something this car is not meant to do hahaaa.
I would try to be a nice driver. Bhai koi dussra aake tuje thokk ke gaya tab kya karega tera nice driving ka?
Didn’t expect this from a professional car reviewer.
For everyone the "safety rating" is the be all and end all, all of you should go ahead and buy a tata 407 instead.
Features over safety? A car and bike enthusiast will never say that. Not enough if you are safer driver because others on the road may not be...
