The all-wheel-drive all-electric Urban Cruiser is exclusively available with the 61 kWh battery option. Equipped with a twin electric motor arrangement, the all-paw variant produces 135 kW. The latter model will feature downhill assist and ‘Trail’ and ‘Snow’ driving modes.
Stepping inside, a 10.1-inch, touch-enabled display takes centre stage. The infotainment unit incorporates Apple CarPlay and Android Auto screen mirroring. Housed within the same horizontal panel as the latter item are 10.25-inch digital instruments. The package further includes a JBL sound system, a 360-degree surround-view camera array and ambient lighting. A sunroof will also be available. In addition, according to the brand, the interior offers a generous amount of space, thanks to the emissions-free crossover/SUV’s 2 700 mm wheelbase and flexible, sliding rear seat arrangement.
