When it comes to SUVs in India, you have a plethora of choices out there! Hence, finalising a choice can be pretty challenging. As an SUV lover, I experienced it after reviewing numerous SUVs, until I finally shortlisted two – Renault Kiger and Kia Sonet – the SUVs that resonated with me the most. However, choosing between them also wasn’t a cakewalk. With both of them offering a broad array of features, selecting anyone had become a challenge. Nevertheless, the one comparison that proved decisive was Renault Kiger price V/S Kia Sonet price. Here’s more to what I chose and why.
