The SUV will also get 4WD (Four-Wheel-Drive) system, which will target adventure lovers. Adding to it, the SUV will be the first model to feature underbody CNG tank.

The triple screen layout comprising infotainment unit, digital driver’s display and a co-passenger’s entertainment screen.
Other features could include multi-colour ambient lighting, powered front seats with ventilation, wireless phone charger, panoramic sunroof, premium JBL sound system with Dolby Atmos, HUD and Built-in dash cam.

The SUV is expected to offer a realistic range of up to 500km on a single charge.
