Performance & Mileage
Under the hood sits a 1.5 L naturally aspirated petrol engine, delivering 110 hp and 140 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a 5‑speed manual gearbox, and a 4‑speed automatic is rumored to follow. The claimed fuel efficiency is 18 km/l in mixed driving, which is respectable for a vehicle of this size.
Price & Rivals
Pricing starts at ₹9.99 lakh (ex‑showroom) for the base variant and tops out at ₹12.49 lakh for the top‑spec model. That puts it squarely against the Mahindra Thar’s entry price of ₹10.5 lakh, while offering a few extra tech touches.
