This is a very innovative modification made keeping in the mind of the flexible nature of the car. It also has good safety features which are of European standards.
he Roomster runs on both petrol and diesel. The diesel engine has direct injection of the fuel. The transmission is of both manual and automatic. The automatic is of six speed control and the manual is five speeds. Triptonic transmission is similar to that of an automatic transmission with some features of manual to change the gears.
