The battery system and platform designed for this model were jointly developed by Suzuki, Toyota, and Daihatsu Motor Corporation. The electric SUV is likely to be offered with two battery packs - 60kWh and 48kWh. The top-spec model will have dual-motor 4WD system with an expected range of around 500-550km on a single charge, while the lower-spec model will have a range of around 400-500km.
