Built on a dedicated EV platform, the vehicle offers a 101-liter front trunk and total storage capacity exceeding 500 liters. For comfort, the front seats come standard with a light massage function, while seat heating and heated steering wheel are available as options. The cabin features a panoramic sunroof and 64-color ambient lighting. An optional Burmester® 3D surround sound system with Dolby Atmos support is available for the audio-visual experience.
