This variant has much more features on it, like chrome grille, ORVM Indicators, LED headlamps, full wheel covers, and importantly an infotainment system which comes without smartphone integration or navigation. The Delta gets the keyless entry, all power windows, rear seat adjustable headrest and other features that make it a much better choice than the Sigma.

The car also gets the CVT gearbox option and the Smart Hybrid 1.2 litre Dualjet engine that makes 89 horsepower and gives better fuel efficiency. The Delta starts at INR 644,612, with the CVT option costing INR 776,612 and the Smart Hybrid at INR 733,412.
