Engine & Transmission
In this car, the company has used its own developed 1.2-liter Z12E petrol engine, which works with a strong hybrid system. It means that it will not directly drive the wheels but will generate electricity, which the motor will use to power the car.
The most important thing about the hybrid version is that it will have very high mileage, which is not usually the case with such SUVs. It is expected to have an e-CVT (electronically controlled continuously variable transmission gearbox), which will give you a smooth driving experience without changing gears.
Interior & Exterior
The exterior is a mix of compact sport utility vehicle and coupe style. The large grille, crystal-block LED DRL lights, deep cuts, and muscular bumper give it a unique design. The sloping roofline, roof rails, large wheel arches, and flanking cladding give it an SUV look, and the LED taillights, muscular bumper, and skid-plate finish on the bike strengthen its footprint.
The car features a dual-tone cabin, and its matte finish on the dashboard, silver inserts, and plush seats give it a premium feel. For the convenience of the occupants, the car is equipped with a 9-inch “SmartPlay Pro+” touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a HUD, and a voice assistant menu.
Safety Features
The hybrid version of this car is equipped with the advanced features to ensure safety and convenience for the occupants; it is going to have the following safety features:
- It comes with six airbags, which are available on the driver and passenger sides and as curtains that provide all-round protection during an accident.
- It has Electronic Brake Force Distribution along with an Anti-lock Braking System, which does not allow the car to skid when sudden braking is applied, and it also maintains control.
- Electronic Stability Program helps keep the vehicle stable during sharp turns or emergency situations.
- Hill Hold Assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back while it is still on an incline.
- The 360° Camera System helps with parking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
- To avoid the problem of puncture and tire burst, TAPS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System) always shows the tire pressure.
- ADAS features like Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, and Automatic Emergency Braking make the car semi-autonomous.
Dimensions
The length of this car is going to be approximately 3595 mm, i.e., approximately 4 meters. Its width will be 1765, and its height will be 1555 mm. The wheelbase, i.e., the distance between the rear and front wheels, will be 2520 mm, which will provide better legroom space to the people sitting at the back.
The car’s ground clearance is going to be 190 mm, which will help it to drive on slightly rough roads. The boot space is expected to be around 308 liters, which is enough space to carry big luggage for three people.
