Notable standard interior features of the car include leather seats, a digital instrument cluster, and a 10-inch central touchscreen. The top-of-the-line version will be equipped with Nappa leather front seats with massage function, 2 central screens, and a Focal 10-speaker sound system.

In terms of engine, the car is equipped with a 1.6 Turbo Puretech petrol engine with a maximum power of 218 horsepower and a peak torque of 300 Nm. This engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds.

Finally, there are safety features such as an active safety braking system using cameras, lane keeping assist, traffic sign recognition, lane change assist, adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go function, lane centering assist, radar and 360-degree camera-based active braking assist.
