The two-wheel-drive variant yields 231 kW of power, while its four-wheel-drive counterpart boasts an entrance motor outputting 131 kW. The advanced lithium-iron-phosphate battery pack, boasting a capacity of 39.05 kilowatt-hours, enables a remarkable range of 230 kilometres for the rear-wheel-drive variant and 220 kilometres for its all-wheel-drive counterpart.
