The model rendered integrates cues borrowed from Mahindra's range, whilst also sourcing the lines from the camouflaged test mule, resulting in a design that looks slightly familiar yet contemporary. It has the characteristic Mahindra toothed grille, large headlamps, sportier bumper design and a bold shoulder line across the side profile.

It could be based on a monocoque platform designed around a front-wheel drive architecture, although its unclear if its a brand new platform or sourced from an existing monocoque product.
