The newly launched Tata Nexon facelift SUV more than surpassed the automaker's expectations and the model now commands a long waiting period. That being said, the Kia Sonet is among the Tata Nexon's closest competitors and here's a quick fuel efficiency comparison between both the sub-4m SUVs.
Starting with the powertrain, the new Tata Nexon facelift SUV comes with two engine options. A 1.2-litre, turbocharged, petrol engine with 118bhp and 170Nm of torque, and a 1.5-litre, turbocharged diesel engine with 113bhp and 260Nm of torque.
Also, both these engine options come with multiple transmission options. In fact, the petrol model can be specified with transmissions such as a 6-speed manual, 6-speed AMT, and a 7-speed DCT.

On the other hand, the more powerful 1.0-litre, turbocharged petrol engine produces 118.4bhp and 172Nm of torque. Moreover, customers can choose either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT gearbox.
Finally, the diesel version of the 2023 Kia Sonet uses a 1.5-litre, turbocharged diesel engine with 115bhp and 250Nm of torque. Moreover, the model can be specified with either a 6-speed iMT unit or a 6-speed automatic gearbox.
