Self-Charging Hybrid With 2.5L Petrol Engine and e-CVT Gearbox

It uses a self-charging hybrid system, so there’s no need to plug it in. Paired with an e-CVT gearbox, it ensures smooth, gearless drive with excellent fuel efficiency of around 18.1 km/l impressive for a premium SUV of this size.
Strong SUV Styling With High Ground Clearance and Adventure-Ready Presence
