10.1-inch central touchscreen infotainment system.
10.25-inch digital instrument cluster (7.0-inch on lower trims).
Built-in Google integration with a promised Gemini AI voice assistant via a future OTA update.

Kottarakkara: In a crucial development in the case that shocked Kerala, the court has found Sandeep guilty of the brutal murder of Dr. Vandana Das. The quantum of punishment for the accused will be pronounced the day after tomorrow.
The tragic incident took place at the Kottarakkara Taluk Hospital. Dr. Vandana Das, a young duty doctor, was fatally stabbed by the accused. Sandeep had been brought to the hospital by the police for a medical examination when he suddenly grabbed a pair of surgical scissors and launched an unprovoked attack on the doctor.
During the trial, the prosecution presented an airtight case, backed by strong scientific evidence and crucial eyewitness testimonies. The prosecution successfully proved the severe charges against him, including the charge of murder.
Given the brutal nature of the crime and the fact that he has been found guilty of murder, legal experts anticipate that Sandeep will receive the maximum possible punishment. The entire state of Kerala is closely watching and awaiting the final sentencing.

Thrikkakara: Akhil Marar (Film Director & Bigg Boss Winner)
Thiruvambady: Sunny Thomas
Trikaripur: Ravi Kulangara
This follows the recent high-profile announcement of Babu Divakaran, who joined Twenty20 after resigning from the Congress party, as the candidate for Kunnathunad.
