1.5 liter turbocharged gasoline engine delivering 115 kW (154 hp).
Additional electric motor producing 200 kW (272 hp).
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with different capacities depending on the trim.
Pure electric range of up to 180 km based on CLTC standards.
Available configurations include:
