This further emphasis on the importance the company has given into this field. Better halogen and projection lamps of the head lamp also offers better visibility during night rides. So does the fog lamps on the front bumper. Its 16 inch alloy wheels with tubeless radial tyres offer optimum road grip and traction, these also compliment the breaking provided by the car’s ventilated disk breaks in the front and disk breaks in the rear.

The eagle eye shaped head lamps along with the broad chrome grill offer the car a rather masculine look. This when coupled with the bends and lines on the bonnet, is a pleasure to watch.
