The Sonet is offered in two trims,. Despite being based on the Hyundai Venue and sharing its powertrains, the Sonet stands out.

On the outside, it sports a bold design with most of the concept's design traits retained. Notable bits include the 'Tiger Nose' grille, sleek LED headlamps with LED DRLs, daytime running lamps, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels with squared-off wheel arches, upright stance, and a swanky set of LED tail lamps. The GT Line is sportier with a revised air dam, blacked-out skid plate, red accents on the front grille, bumper, side skirts, alloy wheel hub and brake calipers.

Heading inside, you're treated to an extensive list of equipment. The Sonet gets a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, steering-mounted audio controls, UVO connected car tech, electric sunroof, climate control, cruise control, a Bose sound system, LED sound mood ambient lighting, drive modes, traction modes and ventilated seats. Safety is taken care of by six airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, a rearview camera, electronic stability control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.

Under the hood, the Sonet is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine with various transmission combinations. While the 1.2-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines are offered with a manual transmission, the 1.0-litre turbo-petrol gets the iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) clutchless manual only. Automatic transmission options are only available for the 1.5-litre diesel and 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engines. Here's a better look at how the powertrain and transmission options are spread out:
