    On the inside, the major changes include an all-new octagon- shaped instrument panel and a dual-tone treatment to the cabin with the lighter beige shade used for the seats, door panel inserts and the centre console. The ‘T’-shaped steering wheel has now been replaced by a more conventional-looking four-spoke design which is also quite comfortable to hold, thanks to its slightly softer feel and large size. Also, features such as auto-down driver’s window, rear parking sensors (in the top two trim levels), a cooled glovebox, bottle holders on the front doors and a better music system with Bluetooth connectivity find their way on the facelifted car.

    On the move, the reworked dampers at the front and rear definitely help improve the ride quality with the car soaking up medium-sized potholes with ease. The new cable linkage on the gearbox has made the gearshifts almost effortless but they lack a positive click when ushered into their slots. That said, the shift quality is no doubt a considerable improvement over the previous ’box. Also, the diesel car’s clutch feels very light, quite like that of a petrol car.
