This not only enhances the off-road atmosphere but also maximizes interior space.
The front fascia features a robust horizontal grille with a smoked honeycomb structure. Round LED headlights with circular daytime running lights around the outer rings create a highly recognizable silhouette. The raised fenders, made of black plastic, not only protect the vehicle from gravel but also provide ample clearance for the tires. Combined with 18-inch off-road-specific wheels and AT tires, they further enhance its off-road capabilities.
The vehicle's dimensions remain the same: 4720mm in length, width, and height (4720×2000×1875mm), with a wheelbase of 2825mm. It utilizes a non-load-bearing body-on-frame structure—a "body-on-frame" design that separates the body from the chassis—to absorb most of the impact during off-roading, protecting the vehicle and its occupants. With an approach angle of 30°, a departure angle of 28°, and a minimum ground clearance of 220mm, these maneuverability far exceeds that of typical urban SUVs, allowing it to easily navigate steep slopes, gravel roads, and cross-axle terrain.
A standard rooftop load-bearing luggage rack, capable of supporting up to 100kg, can directly secure bicycles, rooftop tents, and other gear. A full-size spare tire is mounted externally at the rear, conserving interior space while highlighting its off-road credentials. The regular trunk volume is 520L, which can be expanded to 1600L after folding down the rear seats. It can easily accommodate large items such as camping equipment and outdoor tools to meet the loading needs of long-distance adventures.
1.5T Hybrid: A Balanced Approach to Off-Road Performance and Economy

If a wheel slips, the differential lock quickly engages, transferring power to the wheel with traction, significantly improving escape ability. To address the unique characteristics of hybrid vehicles, engineers have enhanced the battery pack's protection with an IP68-rated waterproof design, ensuring battery safety even when wading through water up to 800mm deep. Furthermore, an "Off-Road+" mode optimizes power delivery, delays shifting, and maintains high engine speed, ensuring instant torque, making it easy to navigate extreme road conditions like mud and sand.
Energy Efficiency: Worry-Free Long-Distance
Under CLTC conditions, the 1.5T hybrid version boasts a combined range of over 1,000km, including 100km of pure electric range. With a 60L fuel tank, a full charge is more than enough for round-trip travel from the city to a remote camp. In daily use, pure electric mode consumes approximately 15.5kWh per 100km, while hybrid mode consumes only 5.9L per 100km, significantly saving annual fuel costs compared to comparable gasoline-powered off-road vehicles.
The EV supports both fast and slow charging. Fast charging can charge the battery from 30% to 80% in 30 minutes, while slow charging takes four hours to fully charge. An optional solar panel on the roof can be installed to recharge the battery while parked outdoors, further extending driving range.
2.0T Gasoline Version: Pure Hardcore Power
Power Output: The Explosive Force of a Fuel-Powered Beast
The 2.0T gasoline version is equipped with a high-power turbocharged engine, producing a maximum power of 187kW (254 horsepower) and a peak torque of 390Nm. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission, this powertrain is designed for those seeking a pure off-road experience. The engine delivers maximum torque across a wide rev range of 1750-4000rpm, ensuring strong power during low-speed climbing and high-speed overtaking.
The 8-speed automatic transmission's shifting logic has been optimized for off-road driving. In low-speed four-wheel drive mode, it can amplify torque by downshifting, with a maximum torque amplification factor of 2.48, allowing the vehicle to easily handle extreme road conditions. The transmission also supports manual shifting, allowing the driver to precisely control gears using the shift paddles, maintaining stable power output in complex terrain.
Four-Wheel Drive System: A Solid Emblem of Mechanical Excellence
This version features a full-time four-wheel drive system with a mechanically locked center differential, enabling a 50:50 front-to-rear torque split.
