It is designed as a mid size electric SUV that combines modern styling with advanced features. The car will be sold in three trims Delta, Zeta and Alpha giving customers the option to pick according to their budget and needs.<\/span><\/p> <h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Battery Options and Range<\/span><\/b><\/h2> <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Buyers will be able to choose between two battery packs:<\/span><\/p> <ul style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <li data-aria-posinset=\"3\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">61.1kWh battery pack<\/span><\/li> <li data-aria-posinset=\"4\" data-aria-level=\"1\"><span data-contrast=\"auto\">48.8kWh battery pack<\/span><\/li> <\/ul> <p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Both versions come with a single electric motor setup.
