The tachometer and the speedometer are analogue units while the rest of the information is displayed on a digital screen.
A 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system occupies the centre of the dashboard. The infotainment system is Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink compatible. It also supports voice control. Air-con vents next to the infotainment get a brushed aluminium surround. The hatchback also gets rear AC vents.

Under the hood is a 1.1-litre four-cylinder engine that, in the petrol model, delivers 69 PS of maximum power and 99 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed Smart Auto automated manual gearbox. The 1.1-litre engine on the petrol-CNG powered variant is tuned to produce 59 PS of maximum power & 84 Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a 5-speed manual transmission.
