Other feature include blacked-out roof rails, body-coloured door handles and an X-edition badge on the C-pillar. The additions enhances the overall appeal of the crossover.
On the inside, the instrument panel gets a carbon-fibre finish and new seat fabric. The standard 2-din music system has been replaced by a 6.8-inch touchscreen system with a reverse parking camera. On the safety front, the special edition shares all the features that are being offered on the standard variant which include dual airbags, ABS, EBD, engine immobilizer, ISOFIX and front seatbelts with pretensioners and force limiters.
