This particular model featured a manual transmission, whereas it is likely the Mahindra may also offer an AMT option. On the dashboard the vehicle sported a traditional rotary styled AC knob and 2-Din space for music system. The vehicle is likely to get a long bench type arrangement in front rather than bucket seats.
Under the hood, the vehicle is expected to be offered in 1.2-Litre petrol as well as diesel engine options.
