The newly introduced E-CNG engine, on the other hand, is capable of producing 76bhp and 98.5Nm of torque. The petrol engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission and an AMT unit. Whereas the E-CNG variants are only available with a five-speed manual transmission.

Aside from the CNG badge on the tailgate, the new E-CNG-specific variants have no exterior changes. The E-CNG G trim gets LED projector automatic headlamps, LED tail lights, and 16-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. The G variant's dual-tone dashboard features a seven-inch floating touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, a manually height-adjustable driver seat, tilt and telescopic steering adjustments, idle start/stop, and six airbags.
