As of now, it has a waiting period of up to 20 months. The mid-size SUV is available with two engine options – a strong hybrid and a mild hybrid – both of which are paired with petrol engines. Apart from these, it offers a CNG powertrain as well. It has been developed jointly with Maruti Suzuki and is based on Maruti Suzuki's Global-C platform.
