The side profile shows a coupe-like fastback design with hints of SUV height, reminiscent of the Toyota Crown SportCross. The car's rear is heavily camouflaged, but the "Y" shaped taillights can be discerned, echoing the front design. Powertrain details suggest single and dual-motor configurations, with a 98kWh battery promising a WLTP range of over 700km.
