Why does this model matter?
The hybrid system significantly reduces fuel consumption while allowing daily commuting on electric power alone. A 110 km electric range is sufficient for most urban driving needs.
At the same time, the total range of up to 1100 km eliminates concerns about long-distance travel, making the vehicle a practical and versatile choice. If priced competitively, it could become a strong contender in the Uzbek automotive market.
