Now, let’s hear its roar, the performance trim can accelerate from 0-60 mph within a  blink of 3.1 sec and sprint with a top speed of 162 mph that clears that minimalism doesn’t define prowess.

Rich with advanced autonomous driving technology DNA such as Autopilot and Full self-driving capability that sets it atop of segment stalwarts such as Hyundai Ioniq 6, Polestar 2, Mercedes-Benz EQE, and BMW i4.

And, this is the mere opening act.
