Also the VX variant has got ‘follow me home light’ and electric head lamp leveling device. At its heart is a 75 bhp, mDI CRDe 4 cylinder diesel engine with 220 Nm of torque which gives it a top speed of 120 kph. Steering is adjustable to provide the most comfortable driving position while the 4+1 seating configuration is luxurious with a premium feel to it.

 The Genio DC VX offers features that give the passengers a feel of an MPV or an SUV.

The ride quality has also been improved to make the ride enjoyable for the occupants. The base variant on the other hand does not get features like key less entry and the ‘follow me home lights’. Both variants get a cargo bay 1500 mm long, 1600 mm wide and 500 mm  deep. This makes the Genio DC ideal for outdoors. The vehicle can occupy five in comfort and the loading bay would swallow the weekend luggage with space to spare.
