It is a good choice for regular city commute as well as performance on highways or tough roads.

Its appearance is marked by bold looks at the front and rear.
It has a chunky lower section which does not have any skid plates but has a big black cladding flanked by a set of tail lights.
A sneak peek video also shows off arrow-shaped wrap-around tail lights in sync with the arrow-shaped design of the boot lid.

The alloy design stands out and large wheel arches help tackle tough roads.

At the rear, there is a sculpted tailgate with a Tata badge positioned in the middle.
The car’s sportiness is highlighted by the high set rear bumper with vertical reflectors and faux air vents.
The bumper is positioned in a way to provide protection to the bodywork if the car gets rear ended.
Other features at the back include high-mounted stop lamp, rear wiper, and tailgate integrated spoiler.
