Its rear end is also expected to feature minor cosmetic changes yet to be seen. The leaked image only suggests updated taillamps and a new rear bumper. It gets new alloy wheels too.

It is expected to receive updated upholstery and cabin layout with a new touchscreen infotainment system that features Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility. The global model will likely offer multiple petrol and diesel engine options but the India-spec facelift is expected to stick with the current set of BS6 compliant 2.7-litre petrol and 2.8-litre diesel engines.
