Transmission options include a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual, 5-speed AMT and a 6-speed DCT. Tata Motors hasn’t confirmed about the launch of the fully electric version of the Osprey.
In terms of features, the compact SUV is expected to get dual 10.25-inch displays, automatic climate control, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and a JBL audio system.
