The flagship modification has a twin-engine unit with a capacity of 787 hp (800 Nm), which allows you to accelerate to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds. The electric vehicle is based on an 800-volt architecture and is capable of replenishing the energy reserve in 10 minutes, which is enough for 370 km of travel.

The novelty has a fully-controlled chassis, advanced autopilot systems, a wide 27-inch full-width screen on the front panel, cameras instead of rear-view mirrors. Sales of the model in China will start this summer, prices have not yet been specified.
