The all-new Sonet will be a big change on the inside too, with a new platform enabling more space on the inside. The interiors would be all new with a Syros-like design plus a new look steering wheel. The infotainment system would be new as well, and the technology would be updated, like on the new Seltos.

Engine Options Likely To Continue

However, unlike the Syros, the new Sonet will get a single-pane sunroof and not a panoramic sunroof, similar to the new Venue. Engine options for the new Sonet will be the 1.0 turbo petrol and 1.2L petrol, as well as a diesel, which would be expected to continue.
