“The Sonet punches above its weight with a loaded feature set, sharp design, and strong value proposition in the Rs 7-10L bracket. However, real-world efficiency lags behind rivals, and the 118bhp engine feels adequate rather than eager—best enjoyed with sensible expectations and selective trim choice.
