Further, it is also equipped with creature comforts like the touchscreen monitor, cruise control, multifunction steering wheel, and keyless entry system. Additional amenities such as leather seats, power driver seat, push start button, 10-inch touchscreen with six-speaker infotainment system, and auto air-conditioning await T60 Elite 4x4 buyers.
Customers can also choose from Agate Red, Lava Gray, Blanc White (for the T60 4x2 Pro), Olive Green, Aurora Silver (for the T60 4x4 Elite), and Obsidian Black on the two variants.
