This could include a base rear-wheel drive model with 215 bhp, an all-wheel-drive variant boasting 379 bhp, and a potential high-performance option reaching 576 bhp.

For those seeking longer journeys, a larger 99.8 kWh pack could extend that range beyond 483 kms, offering greater flexibility for road trips and weekend getaways.
