TeamBHP has posted new images of the forthcoming Maruti YRA (codename) premium hatchback which is expected to launch in India around Diwali (November) this year.

Maruti YRA interior fully exposed — The YRA could debut the 1.0-liter Boosterjet turbocharged petrol engine for the company.

The front fascia of this export version (left-hand drive) sports a chrome grille, with peeled-back headlights with projector units. The side profile of the hatch, which is expected to measure more than 4 meters in length, gets 16-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels, chrome door handles with keyless entry and wing mirror mounted turn indicators.

Towards the rear, the YRA gets a chrome applique on its bootlid with a hidden reverse camera, a rear wiper and washer and a rear spoiler with a high-mounted brake light.

Inside, the YRA features an all-black interior with silver highlights for the center console. The familiar three-spoke steering wheel has integrated buttons for the audio system and cruise control, while the center console features vertically-designed HVAC vents with a touchscreen entertainment system (much different from the SmartPlay unit).
