According to the company, the new vehicle is powered by the company’s 200HP engine with iGen6 technology which delivers better fluid efficiency and will be available in cowl and 3 cabin options: N Cab, U cab, M cab. The N cabin comes with a suspended cab with dampers, suspended driver seat, anti-roll bar in the front, good storage spaces, full metal front fascia, music system, AC & HVAC options.
