The main highlight of the new variant is that it comes with a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, enabling it to open and close with a command in natural language. With its launch, it became the first SUV in India in the ₹10 lakh segment that offered a panoramic sunroof, which is usually found with the top trim.

Inside, on the dashboard, there are two 10.25-inch touchscreens; one is placed at the centre for the infotainment of occupants that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay and works with the six-speaker sound system, and another is mounted behind the two-spoke steering wheel, which shows all the driving data such as speed, fuel, etc.

It features rear wipers for better visibility, powered windows and ORVMs (Outside Rear View Mirrors) featuring auto-fold, rear AC vents to keep the passenger cool during the hot weather, push-button start for convenience, USB charging ports, and Bluetooth connectivity for remote control.

The car has received a safety rating of 5 stars in Bharat NCAP as well as Global NCAP. Its cabin is equipped with 6 airbags, including driver, front passenger, side airbags and curtain airbags, which play a crucial role in saving the lives of occupants during the accident.
