This includes a new steering wheel, which is based on Swift, an updated instrument cluster with an updated MID, a nine-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, and more.

In addition to paddle shifts on automatic models, eSIM connectivity allowing a host of new features, a wireless charges station, and a sunroof. In terms of performance, the same 1.5-litre K18 four-cylinder petrol engine would likely to get continued which produces close to 105 PS of power and 138 Nm torque. The engine could be used with higher levels of hybridization for better economy.
