Standard equipment is the analog gauge cluster with economy meter. The G and E variants get the eight-inch touchscreen entertainment system with AM/FM, USB, Voice Command, Bluetooth, Apple Carplay and Android Auto, four speakers for the G and two speakers for the E and J. The J gets a 1-DIN audio system.
It’s powered by a three-cylinder 1.0-liter 12-valve DOHC with VVT gasoline engine which puts out 67-Ps at 6000 rpm with max torque of 89-Nm at 4400 rpm mated to a new CVT for the E and G variants or a five-speed manual transmission for the J variant.
