There are only 4 variants of the Tiago currently offering CNG, petrol-manual and petrol-automatic powertrain options. Considering this information, we expect only these trims to offer the option of CNG and automatic transmission together.
Tata currently charge Rs. 95,000 for the CNG kit in the Tiago and Rs. 55,000 for the AMT automatic transmission. Since the new model is combining these two features, our estimation suggests that they will simply add the two prices up and make the new CNG-AMT variants Rs. 1.50 lakh pricier than the petrol-manual trims.
Tiago CNG-AMT Expected Price Logic
Considering that they are the first ones exploring the market for a need for clutch pedal-free option in a CNG car, we’d usually say that they might be priced rather well. This helps them establish a market before proceeding with price revisions. However, considering Tata’s recent pricing structure, we’re pretty confident that they may not keep the prices lucrative. After all, they are the only ones in the country bringing this unique powertrain combination. This comes on top of the fact that their CNG cars have a fairly usable boot space because of the use of 2 smaller cylinders to store CNG fuel.
Thus, we expect the Tiago CNG-automatic to cost between Rs. 7.90 lakh and Rs. 8.90 lakh (ex-showroom).
This article will give you details about the dimensions, or length, width, height and wheelbase of the Honda Amaze. We’ll also look at the ground clearance, boot space, fuel tank capacity, and tyre size of the Honda Amaze.
The Honda Amaze is 3995mm long, 1695mm wide and 1501mm tall. Bigger exterior dimensions give a car a stronger road presence. The Amaze has a 2470mm long wheelbase. A longer wheelbase makes the car more stable at high speeds and gives better legroom in the back seat, while a shorter wheelbase makes the car more agile.

The tyre size of the Honda Amaze base model is 175/65 R14 and the top model rides on 175/65 R15 tyres. Cars running on bigger wheels provide better handling and styling. However, these advantages come at the cost of efficiency. Having bigger wheels means more metal and more rotating mass. Therefore, it adversely impacts your drivability, performance and mileage.

In this 2022 Maruti Brezza facelift interior review, we’ll explain the new 2022 Brezza’s interior design, features and their usability in detail to help you decide if you should buy this SUV. We’ll comprehensively explain the experience of getting in and out of the 2022 Brezza’s front and rear seats and the comfort while driving. Our overview of the 2022 Brezza’s cabin experience should help you decide if the Maruti 2022 Brezza is a suitable car for you. Please note that we compiled this review after driving the car at the media drive.
Front Seat Ingress Egress
Ingress and egress in the Brezza is unchanged, and is not a complex task. The floorboard, roof and seats are placed at an appropriate height. This makes getting in and out of the Brezza easy.
Front Seats Review
The Brezza gets an all new interior. It is mainly all black, save for some brown trim on the dashboard along with grey detailing, which stretches till the passenger side of the centre console. The cabin is filled with hard plastics all around, which is of the same quality as the pre-facelift Brezza. The centre console is sturdy and the fitment of the glovebox is satisfactory. The glovebox is cooled and can store a bottle along with the owner’s manual.
Other storage spaces in the cabin include bottle holders in the front doors, cupholders in the centre console with some space to put keys and a small storage under the front armrest. There is also a wireless charger in front of the gear lever and a sunglass holder on the headliner.
There is a USB port and a 12V socket ahead of the gear lever. The controls for the auto AC sit above them. Then, there is a free-standing 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system at the top of the dashboard. It supports wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and has good touch feedback. The new Brezza gets Arkamys-tuned audio system with surround sound. It gets 3 preset sound modes and we found the audio output to be satisfactory.
The touchscreen infotainment can also be accessed via controls on the left spoke of the steering wheel. There are telephony controls behind the leather wrapped steering wheel, with cruise control buttons on the right spoke. There are also paddle shifters behind the steering wheel in the automatic variants. The instrument cluster gets an analogue speedometer and tachometer, with a small, coloured MID in the centre. You can access information on the screen via the old-school pins, which look dated.
On the right side of the dashboard, there is the engine start/stop button along with controls for the head-up display, 360-degree camera, traction control and auto engine start/stop function. The new Brezza gets a head-up display, which is similar to the ones seen in the new Baleno. It displays information such as speed, tachometer, fuel-efficiency and time. The HUD helps the driver access important data without having to look off the road.
The new Brezza also gets a 360-degree camera. It shows the 3D view of the car and its surroundings and its feed is displayed on the touchscreen. The quality of the camera feed is impressive as well. The new-Brezza also gets an electric sunroof with a sufficiently thick sunshade. The new Brezza is the first Maruti car to get a sunroof.
The new Brezza also gets ambient lighting on the doors and footwell area. However, it only lights up in one colour – blue. Amenities for the driver include auto dimming IRVM, tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment, electrically adjustable and foldable ORVMs and height adjustable driver seat.
The driver seat is fairly comfortable. The view from the driver seat is clear and one can see the edges of the bonnet, making the drive more confident. While the whole cabin has a modern vibe to it with various upmarket features, there is a gripe. All the backlit switches, such as the AC controls, steering-mounted controls, etc. have an orange backlighting. This looks dated in an otherwise modern cabin.
Rear Seats Ingress Egress
Getting in and out of the rear seats of the Brezza is easy. The floorboard and seats are at an appropriate height, Additionally, the roof of the Brezza does not slope at the rear, which means your head will likely not collide with the roof.
Rear Seats Review
The rear seats of the Brezza have enough knee room and legroom. The rear passengers can slide their feet under the front seats, making more room for their legs. The headroom for the rear passengers is good as well. We think that 2 adults can very easily travel in the rear seats of the Brezza. The back and base of the seats are well-cushioned and comfortable but the underthigh support seems a bit lacking.
We wrote this review from the perspective of a 5’8” passenger sitting behind the driver of a similar height. Features for the rear seat passengers include 2 adjustable headrests, an armrest, rear AC vents, type-A and type-C USB charging points, 60:40 split rear seats and ambient lighting.
Verdict – Maruti Brezza Facelift Interior Review
Overall, the Brezza facelift looks way more modern inside than the pre-facelift model, which carried forward the same interior for more than 6 years. While the layout is completely new, material quality inside the new Brezza remains unchanged. Several new features further enhance the Brezza’s interior and make the in-cabin experience better. The Brezza has enough space for a family of 4 adults and a kid.

Update (Dec 21, 2023): After carefully analysing the brochure and variant wise features of the Sonet 2024, we have updated the expected prices of the Sonet facelift. Please note that these are our estimations based on the information available as of December 21, 2023. We’re not expecting to modify these prices anymore. So, you can consider this as the final revision from our side to the Sonet 2024 expected prices.
As we saw with the Seltos facelift, we’re not expecting any significant price revisions. At the time of the launch, even the Seltos facelift didn’t add too much to the old Seltos price. Even with the addition of ADAS, dual-zone auto AC and a larger sunroof, the prices were only mildly higher than the older model.
We’re not expecting Kia to disrupt the market with the Sonet facelift either. So, we should see a marginal increase at best in the Sonet facelift’s prices over the outgoing model. However, we also have to keep in mind the feature revisions. Every single variant of the new Sonet gets a few extra features. The 2024 Sonet price expectation following table takes all of these factors into account:

The only notable thing here is that the Sonet facelift is getting a new diesel-manual powertrain, which wasn’t available earlier. This will help them keep the starting prices for Sonet diesel buyers under control as it won’t get the auto-clutch manual transmission.
Even with the addition of ADAS features in the 2024 Sonet top model shouldn’t increase the prices too much. We noted with the Seltos facelift that even with so many extra features in the top model, the launch prices still respected the Rs. 20.0 lakh price barrier. While Tata have already breached it with the Nexon diesel-automatic, we still expect Kia to mind it. Unlike Tata, we have seen sensible pricing from Kia in the past and we’re confident that even with the Sonet 2024, we should get a reasonable price tag for most of the variants.
Thus, we expect the Sonet 2024 facelift to cost between Rs. 8.0 lakh and Rs. 15.0 lakh (ex-showroom).
Now, let’s evaluate each variant one by one to see how much it could cost. For this estimation, we’ll use the old Sonet’s prices as the baseline. Then, we’ll see the feature changes and add the appropriate perceived value for the features. Here, we’ll also take into account any other considerations like round figures and Kia’s historical pricing strategy to get to a final price. To know more about what you get extra with each variant of the new Sonet, visit the following link:
In the base model, you get almost Rs. 35,000 worth of features but you also lose some basic features. Net, the new Sonet base model adds about Rs. 30,000 worth of features over the outgoing model. To keep the prices under Rs. 8.0 lakh, we expect Kia to ask for another Rs. 20,000 for this model.
As for the HTE diesel-manual, this powertrain is new for the Sonet. But the Sonet diesel-ACMT was earlier available for Rs. 9.95 lakh (ex-showroom). With the lack of auto-clutch manual, we can expect it to make up for the additional features and maintain a sub-Rs. 10.0 lakh starting price.

Kia Sonet 2024 HTK Expected Price Logic
The HTK variant adds almost Rs. 40,000 worth of features. So, we’re expecting the new Sonet to deliver better value here by only asking for Rs. 30,000 more. This way, the petrol variants price will remain (barely) under Rs. 9.0 lakh while the diesel-manual can respect the Rs. 11.0 lakh psychological barrier.
Here again, the older 1.2L petrol to diesel price gap can remain at Rs. 2.0 lakh. The lack of auto-clutch (IMT) will help compensate for the costs of adding extra features.

Kia Sonet Facelift HTK Plus Expected Price With Logic
The Sonet 2024 HTK Plus variant adds about Rs. 12,000 – 15,000 worth of features. But the price gap could be higher than that. The Sonet HTK Plus 1.2L petrol could cost Rs. 9.90 lakh and remain below the Rs. 10.0 lakh psychological barrier.
Meanwhile, the jump to the turbo petrol is easier to justify as it may only cost Rs. 80,000 more. Not only does it offer more power and better drivability, it does so without compromising on the fuel efficiency. Not to mention, the inclusion of auto-clutch manual transmission makes it almost as good as an automatic in crawling traffic.
This variant may maintain a turbo petrol to diesel price gap of Rs. 1.0 lakh. While it was only Rs. 90,000 before, we expect Kia to keep this variant a little pricey so that the jump to diesel-ACMT comes across as more reasonable. With this strategy, regardless of whether the buyer chooses HTK Plus diesel-MT or the HTX diesel-ACMT, Kia will stand to make a better profit.

New Kia Sonet HTX Expected Price With Logic
The HTX variant of the Sonet 2024 could cost Rs. 11.70 lakh with the turbo petrol-ACMT powertrain. This price is Rs. 25,000 higher than before as it also gets almost Rs. 30,000 worth of additional features than before.
The gap from petrol-ACMT to petrol-automatic will be higher than before as it also gets some Rs. 25,000 – 30,000 worth of additional features. Similarly, these extra features are also available with the diesel-ACMT and diesel-automatic powertrains but not with the diesel-manual. This move will also encourage buyers to skip the diesel-MT and go with the diesel-ACMT for better value.

Kia Sonet Facelift GTX Plus Expected Price With Logic
The GTX Plus variant is where you can expect to see some real fireworks. Because of the ADAS features, the value proposition just jumps through the roof. Since they are using cameras to enable ADAS, the cost of implementation is low. But, the real-world benefits are immense if it ends up working as intended.
We feel like this variant will offer a perceived value of almost Rs. 1.0 lakh with the ADAS features while costing only a little more. Keeping the prices per our expectations will also allow Kia to keep the GTX Plus variants under the psychological barrier of Rs. 14.0 lakh for the petrol-automatic and Rs. 15.0 lakh for the diesel-automatic.

New Sonet 2024 X-Line Expected Price With Logic

Why 2024 Sonet Facelift Won’t Cost More Than Rs. 15.0 Lakh?
It’s worth noting that the Nexon was the first car in the B2-SUV space to blow through the Rs. 15.0 lakh psychological price barrier. It offers such poor value and feature distribution that we couldn’t recommend even a single variant of the car.
So, it’s not unrealistic to expect the Sonet to also do so. However, we’re still betting on Kia to approach the Sonet 2024 with a sensible pricing strategy and bring it back in the game with a bang. We’re pretty confident that this pricing will help the Sonet achieve consistent 5-figure monthly dispatch numbers and turn on some heat on the low value-for-money offerings like the Nexon.

The Kia Sonet facelift is 3995mm long, 1790mm wide and 1642mm tall. Bigger exterior dimensions give a car a stronger road presence. The Sonet facelift has a 2500mm long wheelbase. A longer wheelbase makes the car more stable at high speeds and gives better legroom in the back seat, while a shorter wheelbase makes the car more agile.

In this article, we’ll estimate the variant-wise ex-showroom price of the upcoming Urban Cruiser Taisor SUV — Toyota’s upcoming small SUV to compete against Tata Nexon, Maruti Brezza, Hyundai Venue, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger and Maruti Fronx. We’ll explain the logic behind the calculations in the Taisor expected price table and support our conclusions. As and when we get more information affecting our estimations about the Toyota Taisor price, we’ll update our estimations to accommodate new findings.
Important Note: Toyota haven’t yet confirmed the Taisor for the Indian market. Considering the rumours that the Taisor could be Toyota’s version of the Maruti Suzuki Fronx, we’re fairly confident that the Taisor may materialise sometime before the 2023 festivities start. In fact, it may just pop out of nowhere on a fine day like the Rumion did. So, with the assumptions out of the way, let’s dive into the price estimations.

Toyota Taisor — Powertrain/Engine Options
So far, we have seen that any Maruti Suzuki car that ends up with a Toyota badge retains the same powertrain options. In fact, in these cars, even the variant lineup has significant-to-full overlap with Maruti Suzuki cars. Only the variant names are different. The most prominent examples are Baleno-Glanza, Ertiga-Rumion and Vitara-Hyryder. In these cases, we have also noticed that the Toyota cars even retain the same feature distribution making it operationally efficient for the 2 brands to serve different customers with minimal overhead expenses besides the visual touch ups.
For the Taisor, we’re expecting to see the same wine in the same bottle with only a different label. This means that we are likely see the following 5 powertrain options for the Taisor:
1.2L normal petrol with 5-speed manual transmission
1.2L normal petrol with 5-speed AMT automatic transmission
1.2L normal CNG bi-fuel with 5-speed manual transmission
1.0L turbo petrol with 5-speed manual transmission
1.0L turbo petrol with 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission
Just like the Baleno, we’re expecting to see 4 main variants of the Taisor besides the one Plus variant. It’s also fairly safe to assume that Toyota will follow the same variant naming as the Glanza as the Fronx itself is based on the Baleno hatchback.
We’re expecting to see the following 5 Toyota Taisor variant names:

Toyota Taisor Price Range
To derive the expected ex-showroom pricing of the Taisor, we’ll first have to look at the prices of the Maruti Fronx in the following table:

Rumion Effect
With the Rumion prices, we have seen that Toyota are lightening the demand side to balance the supply-demand equation as it’s too heavy right now. With the Fronx, we have seen that the car is in high demand and beginning to consistently hit a 10,000+ units sales figure every month despite carrying considerably higher than expected prices. So, Toyota have a good amount of breathing room to hike prices further to puff up their profit margins and pay Maruti Suzuki the royalty for borrowing their product and R&D.
Nexon Effect
With the Nexon, we have seen Tata push the envelope further as it became the first B2 segment SUV to cross the psychological barrier of Rs. 15.0 lakh. Hence, even if Toyota push the prices of the Taisor beyond where the Fronx’s stand right now, they will come across as value for money in comparison to the Nexon’s. At Rs. 12.0 lakh for the top model with the turbo petrol-manual powertrain, the Taisor will have a strong footing to challenge the Nexon Creative Plus. Even with an ex-showroom price of Rs. 11.70 lakh, the Nexon Creative Plus petrol-manual, it still feels incomplete as it doesn’t get front and rear armrests.
Toyota Effect
There are a lot of buyers who value a smooth ownership experience and long-term reliability a lot more than the fancy features and styling. The moment the Fronx gets the Toyota badge, it brings along Toyota’s trust in the product and their support throughout the ownership.
Not only is the new Nexon far from achieving quality levels comparable with a Toyota product, their 7-speed DCT is also a piece of first gen hardware. Toyota Taisor, on the other hand, will bring a tried and trusted torque converter type automatic with refinement levels you won’t find in a Tata R&D transmission anytime soon. Despite an inefficient torque converter automatic, the Taisor will deliver far better fuel efficiency figures than the Nexon in the real world. It’s, after all, a Maruti Suzuki product behind the Toyota logo. Moreover, it has the torque to offer similar drivability as the Nexon as it has less weight to haul.

Maruti Fronx Vs Toyota Taisor – Price Comparison
Before I go off the rails on an unrelated tangent, let’s pivot back to our Taisor’s expected prices and compare them with the Fronx. Just like the Baleno-Glanza and Ertiga-Rumion, we can expect the Taisor’s starting prices to remain closer to the Fronx while higher variants could deviate a fair bit like the Rumion did.
We expect the Taisor 1.2L petrol-manual variants to cost between Rs. 7.60 lakh and Rs. 9.0 lakh. The 2 AMT variants of the Taisor could cost Rs. 9.0 lakh and Rs. 9.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The Taisor turbo petrol manual range could start from Rs. 10.0 lakh and stretch up to Rs. 12.0 lakh. With the turbo petrol engine and an automatic transmission, the Taisor’s top 2 variants could cost Rs. 12.50 lakh and Rs. 13.50 lakh. Finally, the Taisor E and S CNG variants could carry an ex-showroom price tag of Rs. 8.55 lakh and Rs. 9.45 lakh, respectively.
With these prices, the Taisor will have at least one turbo petrol variant (barely) under Rs. 10.0 lakh. Moreover, it’ll have the 2 petrol-AMT and CNG-manual variants well under Rs. 10.0 lakh (ex-showroom) price. The turbo petrol with the manual and automatic transmission will have no trouble maintaining its premium appeal as it’ll mostly hover well over the Rs. 10.0 lakh limit.
Most importantly, with the Taisor, Toyota will once again have a presence in the B2-SUV space. It’s one of the hottest segments right now and if they bring the Taisor ahead of the festive season, then they can capitalise on the festive shopping spree and steal some sales from other brands as well.
