The car is the first offering from the carmaker in the compact SUV segment which was launched with an introductory price of Rs. 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). As a result of such warm response, waiting period now increased to six months while some dealerships have announced the waiting period of over 11 months on certain variants.
