Features And Engine Options
The current model features a 20.32 cm Infotainment display with Bluetooth connectivity, a 17.78 cm multi-skin drive mode cluster, cruise control, a wireless charger, and a PM 2.5 clean air filter. Safety features include ESP, traction control, TPMS, hill start assist, ABS with EBD and brake assist, rear parking sensors, speed alert warnings and more.
The upcoming version is expected to be based on the top-spec RXZ variant. As a result, it will come equipped with the same features as that variant.
It will also offer similar powertrain options: a 1-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine. However, it's uncertain whether it will offer both the 5-speed manual and the CVT transmission options with the engine.
