Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Sonet is रु 11,89,000 cheaper ex-showroom (22.5%), while the Suzuki Fronx is ahead on dealer and service reach and power — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the Kia Sonet if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
Choose the Suzuki Fronx if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 15 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 30); 17.1 PS more power; 32.6 Nm more torque.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
