Power is transmitted to the front wheels via a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Other engine options include a BSVI compliant 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol and a 1.2-litre, 4-cylinder diesel. While the gasoline unit produces 81bhp and 113Nm of torque, the oil burner is good for 74bhp and 190Nm of torque. Both the engines will be offered with a 5-speed manual and automatic gearbox options. The petrol version will also receive a CNG variant.
