The headlights have been kept as halogen units to limit the production costs but the higher variants will still feature LED strip fog lamps. The S-Presso is slapped on with black plastic cladding all around the body to give it a muscular appeal. Its tall stance and flared up wheel-arches further enhance the SUV styling.

The VXi+ being the top-crop trim will be kitted with features such as 7.0-inch SmartPlay Studio infotainment system with voice recognition, steering-mounted audio controls, rear parcel tray, body-coloured ORVMs and door handles and a 12V-volt accessory socket. It will be made available with 13- and 14-inch wheel options. The latter will be capped with wheel covers.
