Hi team, I am planning to buy the Tata Altroz diesel, but I am confused between the Altroz and the Kia Sonet. Given that both options fall into different segments, I am unsure whether I should go for the Altroz or consider a sub-4-metre SUV like the Sonet. Could you please help me understand which would be the better choice? Thanks in advance.
