2020 Kia Sonet vs Hyundai Venue vs Ford EcoSport | Compact SUV Comparison Review | evo India 

We have listened to your comments and have gotten our hands on the Ford EcoSport. Do you think it is still relevant?

We have the Ecosport and Venue both in the family. I definitely prefer the Venue when it comes to city drives and looks and premium feel. But ecosport can eat sonet and venue for breakfast in highway dynamics 😄

Just booked the Ecosport S Diesel after testing out the Sonet. Sonet drives well, but doesn't bring a smile on your face the way Ecosport did. That's the sheer brilliance in drive and handling that I was looking for. I can always live with two less features but cannot live with a car that's not enjoyable.

Scrolling....scrolling....scrolling.. not finding a single comment against the legendary ecosport 💖

Ecosport is like fine whiskey, it ages well and is still the most suv..ish in the compact suv space..

Booked Ecosport Diesel last week after Kia revealed Sonet's prices. After driving the old generation Figo for 5 years, it was an obvious choice. It's made for driving enthusiasts.

I drove all these three car personally. In terms of quality all cars at par but in terms of performance and ride handing department its dynamic chasis, there is no match of ford EcoSport!!! It is absolutely fabulous. (IT IS THE ONLY FUN TO DRIVE CAR)

EcoSport is still the best "car" in segment. If you want a "gadget with 4 wheels" , there are many other options.

If you are a consumer I have one thing to say All reviewers and I mean all reviewers only reviews top model while we consumers never thinks of buying top variant because at that price range we can get something better in base or mid range for instance SUV They say infotainment system,sunroof,air purifer,cruise control,auto climate etc is available but many of the features would not be available in mid or base variant Don't think of buying a car watching review videos if you are in a budget....test drive and get educated in all variants and user experience and even service cost If you are in a showroom don't be shy to ask them a service cost bill of a older model of that car so you can cross reference

Venue - love Sonet - premium Ecosport-sporty

Ecosport any day Fords driving dynamics are unmatched 🤟🤟

Ford still ticks all the boxes..for a driving enthusiast Safety.. Built... Sportiness.. Looks.. Decent enough features.. And a really cheap cheap service ..

Still goes for ecosport anyday

Sonet Salesmen- Experience our Ventilated Seats Sale Done!

Venue is the most worst car of the lot..weird quality horn..poor light throw...don't feel like an SUV..ecosport is the best for all age

The channel deserve more than these support. My personal pic is Ecosport anyday.I think Sirish also going to pic Ecosport anyday because you people(who watch evo india channel) know the reason.

Sonet literally is just a kid in this segment. Good looking remote control car 😂😂😂

Ecosport anyday 😍❤️

So basically conclusion from the video is... Till now there is no competition to the ecosport for ride and handling and for driving enthusiastics... If driving quality doesn't bother you then choose according to your own requirements 👍👍👍 good video, well done sir

That's how gimmick features we Indians love, even the reviewers seems so happy about it like in the video .. that's how things gets corrupt.. now more n more gimmick feature oriented cars will come and 'driving feel' takes back seat.. vehicles are much more than gimmick features. I agree EcoSport definitely needs few updates but is still a winner for me.

EcoSport all the way ❤️🔥!! Venue just a hatchback on steroids!

Ecosport is an emotion.. anyday Ecosport ❤

If you love driving go for Ecosport. If you wanna listen songs go for Venue/Sonet.

Any day any time I'll always prefer Ecosport. Simply blind your eyes and buy it. You love it's driving dynamics. It's phenomenal car.

I purchased ecosport 2days bfre..n i had venue also.....ecosport is beast.....its rider car....

Ecosport really needs facelift and change in design now

Esc vsc and brake assist missing in sonet unless purchased top end. What's your suggestions for a petrol/diesel automatic for annual run of 10000km with 70 percent run in Bangalore City and rest highway. Safety, ride comfort and mileage priority.. won't mind IMT or amt as well. Pls suggest

Booked Ecosport Titanium diesel - 2021 model... Sonet remote car.. Venue - No fun to drive Ecosport - beast and fun to drive

I still remember even before my first service, my ecosport Titanium Diesel clocked 18Kmpl, now after two services and 27K kms driven it normally gives 21- 23 kmpl... 👍👍

I still have a EcoSport poster in my room But the venue is already so good and now here's the sonet Just loving it!!!

Great video, enjoyed it!! The lower variants of Sonet don't come with ESC, is that a deal breaker? I am inclined towards iMT HTX but think the safety is not enough in this variant.

Sir, whether the VGT on Diesel Automatic on Sonet has any real benefits as compared to Diesel Manual on Sonet (since the rev. range for torque is same for both i.e. 1500 RPM to 2750 RPM)???

Eccosport is a boy..🔥😎 real compact SUV🔥🔥

I really don't know why people underestimate XUV 300...believe me i drove sonet venue and XUV 300 and I was amazed by XUV 300 it is just an overkill in this segment and Mahindra's after sale service has also improved alotttttttttt

I am really confused between the Ecosport Titanium + and Nexon XZS. A lot of highway munching to be done and sunroof is a requirement. I am okay with the space in the Ecosport. How big of an issue is the clutch of the Ecosport (read loads of reviews that it gets very stiff very quickly)?

I took test drive of all compact suv ecosport venue xuv 300 nexon etc and bought ecosport.

I bought the Ecosport because it has a Torque Convertor and pretty good driving dynamics. No other CSUV comes close to it. Ecosport is ageing rather well Power wise, the 1.5 Dragon Petrol is still awesome

I am waiting for next generation of ecosports

Ford freestyle titanium or Kia htk both petrol. Please tell me which is better to go with

Sonet doesn't get hill hold assist on IMT below GTX variant. Can you please make a video on this and check how it handles slopes with assist.

Dear I'm planing for Ecosport diesel titanium, how it is? I'm listening that Ford is going to leave Indian market, is it true? Should I go for this product or not?

Ford's diesel engine is the smoothest and peppy.

Great comparo...have been watching your reviews since overdrive days. Great one.

Why do you sound so tilted away from ecosport?

EcoSport anyday.. Why is everyone not speaking about car safety.. !!!Guess it's time

I miss the ecosport in that shoot out but finally I saw with Korean rivals. Like this go for compact hatchback comparo!(Figo,Swift,i10nios)

Hi sir, can you tell me which one has great road grip, half road strength to handle, traction control, mud road grip, up hill roads and power to overtake in highways... I want to take petrol version and cost is not a problem. I just confused which I wanna select automatic car, kia Sonet or Nexon or ecosport . Please suggest me sir

Do Sonet HTX iMT roll back in slope? Does it have inbuilt hill hold? Or How would creep function work in slope/hill? I want expert's advice.

Just purchased ecosport 2 days ago and i am still smiling!

Can you actually prove that venue or sonet can carry more speed through corners by doing some timed laps in a track? I know there is a power difference between the ecosport and the korean brothers but still can you prove that they are better in a track? It's a tall claim to say something like that without any evidence.

Does Alto 800 has sleek shifting gear?

Any thoughts when next generation of ecosport coming ?

I have a remapped Ford Ecosport Ecoboost and it can humble the 'Venue' without even breaking a sweat. Furthermore, when you bring into perspective the lack of steering feedback and lackluster handling of the Hyundai and Kia cars, I will pick Ford anyday anytime

Ecoport is really the drivers car and I love driving it but for me who are short on budget 😓😔 but need a high ground clearence, comfort Venue and sonet makes sense with their entry level 8 lakh on road price

Could you please explain the differences in the platforms of all types of car basically what is the technical difference

Does the KIA Sonet have wireless android auto and apple carplay? No one mentions that :-(

Thumbs up for bringing back the trendsetter. Splendid job

Thanks for the love you showed on us by including the EcoSport❤️. Yes i do think its still relevant, its looks butch in comparison to venue and sonet, it drives better, i did take a take a test drive of diesel manual sonet and i can confidently say EcoSport can run circles around a sonet. My brother is looking for a new car and he immediately said that the seating position in sonet is more like a hatchback, but it's like a suv in EcoSport. Of course the sonet is new kid on the block with all the fancy features that tha aam janta is going gaga over. Its a good car no two doubts about it. I will still pick a Ecosport for diesel manual or petrol manual or petrol automatic, for diesel automatic i will purchase seltos, the top end trim will cross 15 to 16 lakhs on road for sonet and that is too much money for a cramped sub 4 metre car. My brother after checking out sonet cancelled his booking for sonet and he opted for mid variant of seltos i'e htk+.

So venue sx(o) Imt is almost lakh cheaper than sonet gtx+ imt. I don’t think other than front parking sensor, ventilated seat and bigger touch screen you get anything meaningful extra for paying a lakh more... so in case of imt top model what’s ur take sir?

EVO India is always the 1st to get comparison reviews!!

For me having or not having the reach and rake adjustment for the steering is extremely important. It might seem like a minor feature, but it's really helpful in getting a very good comfortable driving position..which is why I'd never go for the Sonet despite all the plus points it has

I am a new bea in car thing, I just learnt the driving because I am buying one, when I thought of buying first one is kia sonet it checks everything so I pre-booked it, after that I just took test drive for Nexon and ecosport, after that things have changed for me EcoSport also check all the features which we required and that build quality driving I have not felt in kia also it's a new bea like me I don't know how about the future of sonet like service and other stuffs, so keeping it all in mind I booked ford ecosport s variant. I am happy for that and if you feel kia then buy that also good car, it's just my opinion. Also kindly consider the ford milage is good and service cost is less. In worst case if you are selling you have good market price for ford ecosport. Finally whatever you buy nowadays all cars are good so just go with your choice 🙂.

Sonet automatic petrol dct good average in hilly area?

Widest on putting a smile on your face, Frugal on mileage, hands down cheapest on maintenance - Ford Ecosport, the question is not whether ecosport is relevant, it should be whether these cars come close to the benchmark set and reigned by ecosport

Now I got my type video. All three favourite are here👍👍👍

Evo ticking all the boxes off lately in terms of automotive content ❤️

How is ecosport in petrol automatic version?

Sir, In almost all reviews Sonet GTX+ variant is compared with other vehicles which is too expensive variant but not reviewed with mid variants like HTX and HTK+ diesel AT. Please review HTK+ diesel AT also and give your opinion on is that variant value for money or not. Please also advice us on which variant is better to buy HTK+ diesel AT or HTX diesel manual on better value for money. Thank you.

The only review wherein the Hyundai and Kia were termed as faster on bends.....Salute

I test-drove the Nexon and the Venue (also the Nissan Kicks and the Hi20) - While the Nexon took a beating on the sportiness of the engine, the Venue disappointed me with a steering that didn't give me any confidence (not to mention that my wife hated how cramped the rear seats were). 3 digit speeds were a nightmare in it! I waited for the Sonet for a long time - thinking it would have better drivability and a more planted driving experience, and that it would offer 'competitive prices'. I had readied my mind to compromise on the practicality that the Nexon gave - 60:40 split, better rear space, illuminated glovebox and so on, and embrace the so-called 'gimmick' features that the Sonet had. Sonet GTX+ wasn't priced as per my expectations. But right before I went for the Nexon halfheartedly (mostly due to the utter lack of clarity from the dealership end, due to which I started wondering how I'd trust them with service) I saw the Titanium S Diesel. No compromise on practicality or rear space (I don't know what tapes you are using, but I found the Ecosport, with its scooped up seats, far better than the Koreans), and a really fun engine, too! I had never done overtaking so confidently before. It was love at first drive. Taking delivery today.

Kia Sonet HTX iMT Petrol and HTX Diesel Manual price is same. Which one you will suggest?

Hey Sirish, you have been my favorite in the automotive world, since your 'Overdrive' days. Keep surging!!

Review ive been waiting for

Meaning less features are the USP of Korean car makers, Driving dynamics, driving pleasure is not for these cars, I am a ex Hyundai owner currently having ecosport. the difference is night and day. Indian car market is still maturing. However nice review, completely agree with the Ecosport smile I can see that everytime I hold the steering 😀

Subbed you thanks for the comparison man plan to buy ecosport diwali

Sir UR Rewiews r crisp and clear. I have cornered on Sonnet,Htx IMT petrol or diesel manual Htx.Wwhich is better.my driving is once in 6 months highway driving and remaing city drive25 km per day.Is manual diesel clutch is ok or hard?

A word on the safety ratings in such comparos should also be there

Kids buy fancy korean . Legend buys ecosport

Not sure what this dude is talking about. I own a 2020 ecosport and I still recall back then when I booked it, i made a visit to the hundai showroom just to checkout their vehicle, the executives were trying to convince me to go for venue but when I told them I already gave token for ecosport the hyundai guy couldn't convince me anymore and agreed it is the better vehicle and then he shifted gears and started to suggest me to go for creta instead. Such is the superiority of ecosport where even the competitors respects your choice.

Ecosport Titanium plus AT vs Kia Sonet DCT? Your thoughts please. When I drove I felt Ecosport really good, but I'm concerned about Ford discontinuity if ecosport next year and availablity of spares.

Look at the A pillar in Sonet... How thin and nimble it is... But yes it is of course a good gadget with four wheels! Anyway bought EcoSport after the launch of Sonet...!

Ecosport is love.

Hi Evo and Sirish what's your take on Kia's strategy of not disclosing the pricing gor top end Diesel auto? Of what I have heard it could be around 12.99 ex showroom. That makes it the costliest of the lot?! Is it worth spending 15+ lacs on a C-SUV?

Are these suvs or puffed hatchbacks ??

A driver's delight : FE❤️

Enthusiastic driver+Ecosport=Fun guaranteed but not everyone's cup of tea! Normal drivers won't even notice what's special about the Ford. Needless to say, it's the Ecosport Diesel for my liking over the competition, although all other cars are good too !!

In between ecosports and sonet which one is good sir

Why is Nexon not part of this comparo? Just curious.

Most awaited comparison to Kia sonet vs Ford ecosport thank you sir

Roadtrip with Sonet?

Could have described and showed well about Boot space in Sonet..Excellent review

Guys please do a video on the Thar vs the Nexon EV. I think alot of people like me are in a huge dillema about either buying the car that you've fantasised about forever or get a car to save the environment. I know they're poles apart but I think they are the two most desirable SUV's in the market. Loved this video. Great Review as always!!

These reviewer are responsible for lack of sale of great cars Liking 10 inch touch screen than engine quality and chasis control

Ford is a 100% win in this comparo in terms of drive... I still feel the best in this segment wud be the winner of xuv300 and ford ecosport comparo...

nice review. i am planning to buy sonet diesel auto gtx. confused between black and red colour. which colour you think is best amongst this two. presently driving a red honda city since 8 yrs.

Bhai muja gadi Lani ha in ma sa konse Lani chiya sonet ya EcoSport

Venue TN 85 A 8970 is a petrol 1.0 car in this test, why are you lying? it's not a diesel car.(mparivahan app) You have to first drive 1.5 crdi and 1.5 tdci together to do a comparison test. People believe in you and what you have done is not correct. I hope you will not do this again. 🤨🤨

Venue n Sonet ticks all d boxes fr me❤️... Guys now a days there's a lot of hate going on in d comments section... I get we should support our Indian brand , but not by spreading hate... India needs global MNCs to invest more and more which is why we need all dese companies... It's better for us to have so many choices now a days which carter every individual's requirements..So there won't be any monopoly.. Nexon is a great car but however I personally don't find the looks at the back matching to the rest brilliantly designed car ... N it's also the higher variants lack many features and it's also more expensive too quite a lot actually when compared to the counterparts... while it definitely is a force to reckon with when it comes to safety but I don't think anyof dese cars are less safer ....might not be better than nexon but not bad too..There are "No Bad Cars nowadays" .... There are "Good cars" and "slightly less good cars" ... ❤️ U can't go wrong with either of dese.

HTE ka physically review kab dikao gai sir 🙏

Thank you evo India for doing this comparison.
