With rear-wheel/all-wheel drive, advanced suspensions, and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h acceleration, it offers a 650-km range. The car's aerodynamics and interior space are enhanced by CTB (Cell-to-Body) technology, integrating the Blade Battery seamlessly into the sedan’s body, forming a strong ‘sandwich’ structure that can achieve torsional rigidity of 40500N.m.
