Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Sonet is रु 3,09,000 cheaper ex-showroom (8.6%), while the Suzuki Swift is ahead on dealer and service reach — 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
  • rear-seat legroom matters to you

Measured: 149 mm more wheelbase.

Choose the Suzuki Swift if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want a dealer close enough to visit and negotiate at

Measured: 15 more service centres in Nepal (45 vs 30); 26 more showrooms in Nepal (64 vs 38).

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.
