The Kia Sonet is one of the best-selling B2-segment SUVs in the country. Ever since its launch, the Sonet has gained the tag of the most feature-rich sub-compact SUV in the country. Mahindra XUV300, on the other hand, comes with class-leading safety features and powerful engine options.
1. Wireless Phone Charger
The top variants of the Sonet offer a wireless phone charger whereas the XUV300 does not get this feature. It is worth mentioning that the mid variants of the Sonet come with wireless connectivity for both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which works perfectly along with the functionality of the wireless phone charger.
2. Front Ventilated Seats
The top variants of the Sonet come with front ventilated seats whereas the XUV300 comes with leatherette seats. Ventilated seats offer good ventilation to the seat back and seat base, making driving in the scorching heat a lot more comfortable.

3. Rear AC Vents
The Sonet offers rear AC vents for the 2nd-row passenger whereas the XUV300 only gets front AC vents. Rear AC vents make commuting in the back seat a more pleasurable experience during hot summer months. They also help cool the cabin quickly.
4. Air Purifier
The top variants of the Kia Sonet offer an inbuilt air purifier. Like the Sonet, a lot of other SUVs in the segment offer a cabin air purification system. It cleans the cabin by removing dirt and other harmful pollutants. Sadly, the Mahindra XUV300 lacks this feature.
5. Drive Modes
The Kia Sonet comes with 3 drive modes — Eco, Normal and Sport. These modes alter the responsiveness of the engine and steering. While the XUV300 doesn’t get driving modes, it comes with steering modes that alter steering responses and feedback.

6. Shark Fin Antenna
The Nexon comes with a shark fin antenna over the XUV300. The shark fin antenna not only improves the aesthetics of a car but also offers better reception and durability over a regular antenna.
7. Subwoofer
The top variants of the Kia Sonet come with a Bose sound system along with a subwoofer. The XUV300, on the other hand, comes with an unbranded audio and lacks a subwoofer as well.
