The structure successfully passed rigorous multi-country safety tests meeting strict United States standards. Buyers benefit from a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg for hauling trailers. These features position the vehicle competitively in the luxury crossover market.
Powertrain and Performance Capabilities
An extended-range electric vehicle powertrain pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a 60.3 kWh CATL ternary NMC battery. The setup delivers a claimed electric range of 310 km under CLTC conditions. Rapid 6C charging allows the battery to replenish from 20% to 80% in 12 minutes.
Dual electric motors generate a combined peak power output of 610 kW and 813 Nm of torque. The large SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. An intelligent All-Terrain System co-developed with Huawei enhances off-road handling.
