- Low-cost differentiation: Adds a CNG variant to tap the growing budget‑friendly alternative fuel market, strengthening its buyer appeal.

- Tech-seekers: Go for Techno or Emotion trims for features like wireless charging, 360° camera, and ventilated seats.
- CNG preference? CNG option gives lower cost of ownership and is a solid mid‑range choice.
- Alternative to consider: If you want turbo performance and CVT automation, also compare the Nissan Magnite facelift (shared platform, slightly sportier narrative).
