- While the market increasingly favors blocky SUVs, the model targets consumers seeking compact city transport, facing stiff competition in Europe from Chinese EVs and quadricycles.
- The cabin features a 10.1-inch central touchscreen and dashboard-mounted Smart Pillar, with four versions available including the Pure and 999-unit Couture Edition for Europe, priced at €19,990.
