The Escudo will be powered by a tried & tested 102bhp, 1.5L, 4-cylinder, naturally-aspirated mild hybrid petrol engine paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. The automatic version could also get an AWD set-up. In the CNG mode, the same powertrain offers 88bhp of power.

The Majority of the changes will be made inside the cabin, as it will get several advanced tech and safety features. The new Venue is likely to get dual 12.3-inch screens for the infotainment and driver’s display, a new steering wheel, panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front and rear seats with sliding and reclining function.
