Three engines, one small SUV
Most rivals give you one or two engines. The Sonet gives three. The 1.2 litre petrol is the calm, affordable base, good for light city use. The 1.0 litre turbo petrol adds real punch with an iMT or DCT automatic. The 1.5 litre diesel is the long distance choice, offered as a manual or automatic.
Climbing the Sonet trim ladder
The HTE at ₹7.44 Lakh is the plain starting point. HTK and HTK+ grades add the everyday comforts most buyers expect. HTX trims bring the bigger screens and safety kit. At the top, the GTX+ and X-Line grades load on the sporty styling and full features. Compare what each Sonet grade includes, then check that grade's local pricing.
What the Sonet range costs
Prices run from ₹7.44 Lakh to ₹14.36 Lakh ex-showroom, and the dearest version is the GTX+ Diesel AT. Fuel and gearbox choice explain most of the gap between trims. Two versions at a similar price can feel very different to drive.
