The GenX Nano will sport an openable hatch, making life easier for those who need to carry luggage.

The interiors too are believed to be refreshed with a new instrument console as well as new upholstery .
The creature comfort list includes air-conditioner with heater, central locking, ORVMS on both sides and a multimedia infotainment system.
