9 Features Kia Sonet Gets But Toyota Urban Cruiser Doesn’t | V3Cars
The Kia Sonet is one of the best-selling B2-segment SUVs in the country. Ever since its launch, the Sonet has gained the tag of the most feature-rich sub-compact SUV in the country. While Maruti Suzuki have launched the new-gen Brezza, Toyota’s Urban Cruiser is based on the previous-gen Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza. However, this has allowed Toyota to offer the Urban Cruiser at a competitive price.
In this article, we share the list of features that you get in the Kia Sonet over the Toyota Urban Cruiser.
1. Curtain Airbags
While both the Sonet and Urban Cruiser get front airbags, the Sonet offers side thorax and curtain airbags in its top variant. It is worth noting that the Global NCAP awarded the Urban Cruiser a 4-star rating while they are yet to test the Sonet.
2. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
The top variants of the Kia Sonet come with a tyre pressure monitoring system. It tells the real-time pressure for each tyre and also alerts the driver in case of an underinflated tyre or a puncture. This feature is sorely missed in the Urban Cruiser and we think every new car in this segment should have this safety feature.

3. Front Parking Sensors
While both the Sonet and Urban Cruiser offer reverse parking cameras with parking sensors, the Sonet also offers front parking sensors. They help in safely parking the car in tight spaces.
4. Rear AC Vents
The new Sonet offers rear AC vents which channel cool air to 2nd-row passengers. They increase the effectiveness of the AC in the summer and help cool the cabin quickly. The Urban Cruiser doesn’t offer rear AC vents.
5. Wireless Phone Charger
The Sonet comes with a wireless phone charger whereas the Urban Cruiser only gets a USB Type-A socket for charging your phone. It is worth mentioning that the mid variants of the Sonet offer wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, making the experience even more enjoyable.
6. Subwoofer
The top variant of the Kia Sonet comes with a Bose sound system including a subwoofer. The Urban Cruiser, on the other hand, comes with an unbranded audio system.
7. Sunroof
The Sonet, like most other B2-segment SUVs, offers an electric sunroof. This is sorely missed in the Urban Cruiser.

8. Ventilated Front Seats
The top variant of the Sonet offers ventilation for the front seats along with leatherette seat upholstery. The Urban Cruiser, on the other hand, lacks both seat ventilation and leatherette seats.
9. Drive And Traction Modes
The automatic variants of the Sonet offer drive and traction modes that alter the engine mapping and traction control system. The Urban Cruiser lacks both the features.
