Reports suggest that the Hexa could pack a sub-2.0L diesel engine, which could be a re-engineered version of the 2.2-litre VARICOR diesel engine. It is paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, while a 6-speed automatic was seen in the Hexa Tuff at the Auto Expo 2016. The Hexa also features a Drive Mode selector that offers four driving modes: Automatic, Comfort, Dynamic and Rough-Road.
