It captures the evolution of the front profile. The vertically-slated grille looks bold and the headlamps flanking them are practical too. The bumper is quite rugged which is necessary in this segment. There are useful fog lamps on either side of the bumper enhancing visibility in poor weather conditions along with a skid plate. It looks like the SUV is designed keeping in mind all-terrain tyres judging by the treads. Interior features include a height-adjustable driver seat, digital instrument cluster, 20,000 km service interval, LED taillamps, iMAXX connected car tech with over 50 features and more.
