Built on the MAP platform derived from the modern SEA architecture, the pickup utilizes 70% high-strength steel for enhanced structural integrity, supporting loads up to 1,000 kg. It boasts a torsional stiffness of 30,300 Nm, making it suitable for harsh environmental conditions such as high temperatures and rough desert roads common in the Gulf countries.
