- In terms of performance: 0-60 mph in 6.6 sec, top speed 135 mph, power 220kW, torque 420Nm.
- RWD version also has a different battery: the LFP battery has no cobalt or nickel, lower cost, longer lasting, and safer. However, the charging speed is slower, and the cold weather performance is also worse.
- One of the features, the premium sound system is included.
- The LFP (lithium-iron phosphate) battery needs to be charged to 100% at least once a week.
- The RWD does not have front fog lights.
- With the LFP, range is less than the dual motor vehicle, but it is still going to give you the same amount of miles in the real world.
