The subcompact SUV segment gets a variety of engines on offer. It has naturally aspirated (NA) petrol engines, turbocharged petrol engines as well as diesel engines. For this comparison, we are not considering the diesel engine options in the Venue, Sonet, Nexon and XUV300. 

Mahindra

The Taisor and Fronx get a 1.2-litre petrol engine producing 88 bhp and 113 Nm. Compared to the other NA petrol engines, they produce the most power but aren’t the torquiest. The Sonet, with its 115 Nm, has the highest torque figure, while the Magnite and Kiger with their 96 Nm have the lowest torque figure. The Nexon and XUV300 do not come with an NA petrol engine. All NA engines come paired with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed AMT gearbox, with the Sonet and Venue only getting the manual gearbox option.

Nissan

Coming to turbo-petrol engines, all except the Nexon and XUV300 get a 1.0-litre mill, while the other two get a 1.2-litre mill. The XUV300’s TGDi turbo-petrol engine is the most powerful and torquiest engine of the lot – 129 bhp and 230 Nm. The Nexon, Venue and Sonet produce an identical 118 bhp, but the Nexon produces 170 Nm, while the other two churn out 172 Nm. The Taisor and the Fronx have identical power figures with Magnite and Kiger (99 bhp) but the latter two produce more torque – 160 Nm compared to Taisor and Fronx’s 148 Nm.

Kia

The Taisor and Fronx’s turbo-petrol engines are mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The Venue and Sonet’s turbo-petrol engine gets a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic (DCT) gearbox, but the former gets a 6-speed manual and the latter gets a 6-speed iMT. The Nexon is the only one to offer a plethora of gearboxes. The 5-speed manual is offered on the base trim, while all trims above that get a 6-speed manual. The 6-speed AMT is only available on a single mid-spec variant, while the mid- and top-spec variants get the DCT.
