“The Sonet works hard across the board. It offers a turbo petrol option that delivers real performance, a diesel for those who want efficiency, and enough safety kit to feel secure on Indian roads. Tech and comfort features feel more premium than the price suggests, though the petrol engine's efficiency lags slightly behind its rivals.

✓Stands out
- Turbo petrol engine delivers 118 bhp with strong 250 Nm torque for responsive city driving

- Practical 385-litre boot handles weekend luggage without fuss
!Gives us pause
- Petrol engine's 7.5 efficiency score suggests real-world mileage won't match ARAI claims
- Three ADAS functions are basic compared to loaded rivals in the segment
- Five-seat layout limits family hauling compared to larger competitors
- Turbocharged petrol requires careful driving to avoid thirst
