- There is 16.3 cubic feet of space in the back; the seats can be lowered to create 56 cubic feet of space.

- The hood is a single permanent magnet motor producing 200 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque and gets 0-60 miles per hour at 6.8 seconds.
- Inside the back is extra leg room for passengers with heated seats, it also has usb outlets.
