Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Kia Sonet is रु 15,09,000 cheaper ex-showroom (42%), while the Tata Nexon 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
Choose the Tata Nexon if

Measured: 20 more service centres in Nepal (49 vs 29); 119 more showrooms in Nepal (155 vs 36).

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.
