The Chinese automaker revealed the new specifications of its sports sedan, which hits the market with important refinements in design and electrical architecture. The vehicle adopts LiDAR sensors on the roof to expand assisted driving capabilities and features a renewed interior, abandoning old elements in favor of a cleaner, more technological look, in line with global consumer demands for greater sophistication and efficiency.

Aesthetic and functional innovations

The model incorporates strategic visual changes, starting with the replacement of the rear “Build Your Dreams” logo with a more discreet and illuminated red emblem. New 19-inch wheels complement the exterior look, while the inclusion of a LiDAR sensor on the roof suggests a significant advancement in driver assistance systems, aiming to raise vehicle safety and automation standards.

Inside, the cabin has received a complete makeover with the introduction of a new four-spoke steering wheel and a redesigned dashboard finished in gloss black. The new interior color option “Satin Coral Orange” offers a vibrant alternative, replacing the previous blue and giving the room a more premium atmosphere. The center console has also been optimized, featuring more efficient and hidden wireless charging.

Technical performance and battery

The sedan’s electrical architecture has been updated to support faster, more efficient charging. The propulsion system maintains high power, with the all-wheel drive version delivering 530 horsepower and accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. The 82.5 kWh battery uses Blade technology, known for its safety and energy density, providing a competitive range that can reach 570 km in the combined cycle.

The recharging system has been improved to accept powers of up to 150 kW in direct current. Isso allows the battery to recover from 10% to 80% of its charge in approximately 37 minutes, facilitating long-distance travel and reducing downtime at rapid charging stations. Energy efficiency was also a focus of the update, with improvements to the thermal management of the set.

Perspectives for the Brazilian market

The impact of these updates is eagerly awaited in the Brasil, where the model already leads the electric sedan segment. National production at the Camaçari factory, at Bahia, is a strategic step by the brand to consolidate its presence and reduce logistics costs. Nationalization should strengthen the vehicle’s competitiveness against direct competitors and luxury combustion models.

The manufacturer’s strategy includes not only updating the product, but also expanding the dealer network and after-sales support. With the growing demand for electrified vehicles in the country, the arrival of the renewed version should keep the sales pace strong, offering Brazilian consumers access to the same technologies available in the European and Asian markets.
