Additions of 3 new features are equipped on top-of-the-line Style variant in both petrol as well as diesel trims. Apart from the upsizing of the alloy wheels, there is a change in the rims design pattern as well. The new reverse camera is connected to a 6.5-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Mirrorlink technology.
Otherwise, the vehicle continues on as is – the 1.6L MPI petrol engine or the New 1.5L TDI diesel engine remains unchanged, as are the rest of the features list, which includes items such as chrome trim on steering wheel, projector headlamps, LED daytime running lights, cruise control, automatic front wipers, amberglow footwell illumination and cooled glove box.
The company has neither officially announced nor have they updated these new features on their official India website.
