The SUV is equipped with a hybrid system that combines a naturally aspirated 1.5-liter gasoline engine and a front-mounted electric motor. The system produces a combined output of 204 horsepower and 300 Nm of torque.
Energy is supplied by a 20.5 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. According to the manufacturer, the total driving range exceeds 1,000 kilometers (646 miles) in a combined cycle when the battery is fully charged and the fuel tank is full.
