The car looks like a standard hatchback with curves in the right places, and arches at the back. At the front, it has a tiger-nose grille with chrome trimmings. The grille is joined by slightly elongated headlights at the front with curvy, inverted-L shaped lights at the back. They have a multi-focus reflector along with day-time running lights.

The car will be available in four colors:
The inside of the car, contrary to the small exterior, is very roomy and spacious. While the dashboard and the door trimmings look plasticky, they feel solid and well built nonetheless. The information dials behind the steering wheel have a mixture of both manual dials and digital ones.
There is a multimedia unit which has a built-in CD changer, a touchscreen display with Bluetooth support and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The cabin is fitted with an ambient light at night which comes from multiple lamps fitted in the overhead console, gear clutch foot, glove box and luggage area
While the trunk is small, the space can be increased by folding the back seats if you need to haul larger cargo.

For reference, Suzuki’s new Cultus also has a similar engine with the same horsepower.

It has two airbags one for the driver and the other for the front passenger side and has an ISO child-fix. It will have power steering along with power side mirrors along with power windows.
