The new platform focuses on three attributes: high-rigidity body structure, better underbody aerodynamics and a low centre of gravity

Inside the SUV, it gets a dark-themed interior with no physical buttons except for the controls on the steering wheel and the hazard lights.

It gets a a 68.8 kWh battery pack that is capable of a claimed range of 412 km on a single charge.

The battery powers a front-wheel-drive motor that generates a maximum of 150 kW of power and 310 Nm of torque

Instead India will get the fully-electric version of the recently launched Elevate in a couple of years.
