Pros Cons of Maruti Suzuki S-Cross
Pros
- Spacious
- Efficient Petrol Engine
- Good Ride And Handling
Cons
- No Suv Stance
- Lack Of Features
- No Diesel Engine
Verdict
When it comes to price, the S-Cross makes a strong statement and that's where Maruti flexes its muscles. It undercuts all the compact SUVs right from the Renault Duster, Nissan Kicks, Hyundai Creta and even the Kia Seltos. Throw in Maruti's wide spread service network and you have a formula that has always produced a winner. The S-Cross petrol then ticks all the right boxes except the features box, because yes, we know it's capable of much more.
Pros Cons of Kia Carnival
Pros
- Captain Seats In Limousine Variant Is A Must Buy
- Great Ride Quality
- Diesel-Automatic Combination Is Great
Cons
- Poor Safety On Lower Variants
- Low Ground Clearance
- 9-Seater Variant Offers Little Practicality
Verdict
The Carnival comes to India as a Completely Knocked Down kit, and while it has all the makings of a benchmark MPV, its higher price tag and the fact that Kia is still a relatively new brand is making a lot of MPV buyers shy away from the product. That said, it is undoubtedly a solid product and if you are out looking for a large, premium, chauffeur-driven vehicle, that can also double up as a family car or maybe a workplace on wheels, then you must consider the Kia Carnival.
