Kia made some noise at this week’s 2020 Auto Expo in India, and among its big reveals were two concept cars: the Sonet and the Seltos X-Line.First up is the Sonet, which is an entirely new compact SUV from the Korean carmaker. It’s a stylish little concept that features Kia’s design cues, most notably the signature tiger-nose grille. In fact, it looks a lot like the Seltos from the front end. The Kia Sonet aims to cater to the tech-savvy crowd, with a cabin that boasts a 10.25-inch infotainment and navigation system with UVO connect, a premium Bose audio setup, and an intelligent manual transmission. Its maker has yet to reveal any further details, but Kia has confirmed that this will be launched in India by the second half of this year.

Pros Low base price for the class Great fuel economy
Cons Cheap-feeling cabin materials Dull handling Less passenger and trunk space than rivals
Almost nothing! The Malibu received a minor visual update for 2019, so the 2020 Malibu carries over to this year with only a few new colors (Stone Gray and Black Cherry) and new wheels for the RS and Premier trims. Three paint colors available in 2019 are no more, so if you had a strong attachment to or lust for Iridescent Pearl, Pacific Blue, or Sandy Ridge, 2020 just isn't your year.
Pros Handsome (yes, really!) design, lots of tech, great ride and handling for its class.
Cons Poor rear visibility, cheaper models lack features, can't disable auto stop/start.
The 2020 Chevrolet Malibu comes with front wheel drive. Available transmissions include: continuously variable-speed automatic.Several optional packages have been renamed.The Malibu Hybrid has been discontinued.
PROS Spacious interior with lots of front-seat headroom Easy-to-use touchscreen interface
CONS Lackluster acceleration from the base 1.5-liter engine Limited outward visibility Interior looks dated compared to rivals
