Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus vs Kia Sonet Comparison overview

Comparison overview: The Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus starts at ₹7.49 L and the Kia Sonet at ₹7.41 L, a difference of ₹8.10 K ex-showroom. On-road in New Delhi that gap becomes roughly ₹8.99 K. Here is what the extra money actually buys.

Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus number is for the Diesel/Petrol/CNG Manual and the Kia Sonet number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic/Manual, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.

Only the Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus comes with a factory CNG option at 17.2 kmpl,17.2 km/kg, which is the cheapest way to run either car in the city.

What one gives that the other does not: The Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus adds Adjustable Headlamps, Halogen Headlamps, Wheel Size, Fabric Upholstery and Digital Clock. The Kia Sonet adds Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist, Central Locking, Anti-Theft Alarm and Driver Airbag. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.

Which one should you buy?

Buy the Kia Sonet if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹8.10 K for your down payment than spend it on features.

Buy the Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want No. of Airbags without waiting for the next facelift.

The one thing that settles it: Mahindra Bolero Maxitruck Plus offers Adjustable Headlamps.

Before you sign anything:

Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.

Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.

Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
