Details are still not out about what engine will sit under the bonnet of the new hatchback but it is expected that the Kwid rival will carry over the same 800cc and 1.0-litre engines that power the Alto.

The new car will be aimed directly at the Renault Kwid and will feature a similar SUV-inspired design to appeal to Indian customers who are increasingly being drawn towards the SUV look. The car is also expected to get a raised ride height compared to the Alto to complement its looks.
