In addition, options include an audio system with a total power of over 2,000 watts with 23 speakers and an on−board subwoofer, a built-in refrigerator and a heated box (from -18C to +50C) with a servo drive and backlight in the center console, as well as a projection display that displays key information on the windshield.

Esteo is the fourth joint project of the Russian holding AGR and the Chinese company Defetoo after Tenet, Jeland and Tenet Plus. Previously, the Esteo brand line included the Exlantix ES and ET models, which have been offered in Russia under the Exeed brand since last year.
