Body panels, up to the C pillar is the same, but the rest is simply cut down to make the Xylo a Quanto.A quarter glass is given between the C and D pillar. The rear is also expected to be a scale down version of the Xylo with minute changes in the tail lamp arrangements.
The interior is also very much similar to Xylo with 5 seats in 2 rows and a decent hatch dickey space. The seats are of high quality fabric and offers good supportive seating with a fair leg room when compared to other competitors in the market. The tall boy design makes it easy to step in.
