      Performance-oriented engine The 4-valve setup allows better breathing for the engine — resulting in great top-end performance and acceleration, especially in the 0–60 km/h range 2. Smooth gear shifts & clutch The gearbox is crisp, and the clutch is light, making it city-friendly. 3. Refined & sporty ride quality Minimal vibrations at mid-range. Good balance of daily usability and sportiness. 4. Excellent handling With a race-tuned chassis and double cradle frame, cornering is sharp and confidence-inspiring. 5. Modern features Led headlamp & drls Digital console with Bluetooth (Smartxonnect on top variants) Glide through technology (gtt) – helps in bumper-to-bumper traffic. 6 . Multiple variants Available in drum, disc, and smart Xonnect variants — you can pick as per your budget/features.
