Furthermore, the CNG version delivers a claimed efficiency of 33.61 KM/KG. This represents an improvement of around 3 KM/KG over the previous model, making efficiency one of the key changes with the facelift.

Additionally, the facelift continues to target buyers looking for a spacious premium hatchback with multiple powertrain options.
