Powertrain & Performance

Range-Extended Electric Powertrain:  Equipped with a 1.5T four-cylinder range-extender engine (max power 130 kW, peak torque 270 N·m) + front 180 kW (420 N·m) + rear 220 kW (510 N·m) dual permanent magnet synchronous motors. The system delivers a combined output of 400 kW (≈544 PS) and peak torque of 930 N·m. Paired with a dedicated 2-speed electric drive transmission, it enables full-time four-wheel drive and efficient energy recovery, with a fuel consumption of only 8.5 L/100 km under range-extender mode (charge-sustaining).

Acceleration & Top Speed: Official 0–100 km/h acceleration time is 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 190 km/h. Instantaneous torque delivery in electric mode ensures swift response for overtaking and off-road hill climbing.

Pure Electric & Combined Range: Features a 31.8 kWh ternary lithium battery, providing a CLTC pure electric range of 155 km (approx. 130 km WLTC). The full fuel and charge CLTC combined range reaches 1050 km. Testing confirms 30–80% fast charging in just 28 minutes (max charging power 100 kW), while a standard 220V AC home charger achieves 0→100% in approximately 5.5 hours, effectively eliminating range anxiety.

Chassis & Off-road Capability: Utilizes a front double-wishbone + rear multi-link independent suspension, integrated with air suspension (supporting 5-level height adjustment) and CDC continuous damping control. Equipped with a BorgWarner intelligent full-time four-wheel-drive system featuring central differential lock + rear differential lock. Offers 6 all-terrain driving modes (Sand, Mud, Snow, etc.), a maximum climb gradient of 100%, and a wading depth of 900mm.

Wheels & Braking: Standard 20″ all-terrain aluminum alloy wheels (285/55 R20), with optional 22″ performance wheels. Features Brembo six-piston calipers + ventilated disc brakes, achieving a 100–0 km/h braking distance of 38 meters, ensuring safety both off-road and on-road.

Body Structure: High-strength steel constitutes 72% of the body (with hot-stamped steel in key areas). Ground clearance is adjustable up to 350 mm, with approach and departure angles of 35° and 33° respectively, enabling conquest of unpaved terrain.

Interior & Technology

Smart Cockpit: Equipped with a 12.3″ full LCD instrument cluster + 15.6″ central 2.5K touchscreen featuring ultra-narrow bezels.
