The system is further assisted by a 1.4 kWh battery pack. This setup offers a combined power and torque output of 160 hp and 172 Nm, respectively. The SUV comes with a multi-mode clutchless automatic gearbox.
1.3L HR13 Turbo Petrol Engine: this engine is capable of producing 160 bhp and a peak torque of 270 Nm, and is paired with either a 6-speed manual and a 6-speed DCT.

It features a 10.1-inch floating touchscreen infotainment screen paired with a 10.25-inch digital instrument console. Third-row occupants will have dedicated rear AC vents, individual USB-C charging ports, and recline-adjustable backrests.
