The front and rear bumpers of the car are derived from the Tata GenX Nano, but expect them to come revised in the final production model. It runs on 13-inch wheels, which are larger than the Tata GenX Nano’s 12-inch wheels. Apart from that, the upcoming car also gets single wiper with double arm, windshield washer jet mounted on the small hood.
