It is based on the Converj concept car that was first reveled in the Detroit auto show held in 2009. Overall, it possesses a clearer and much better look that the car that is got inspiration from. Its headlights have been crafted more precisely and the rear deck has been dramatically faceted in a better way. Its LED taillights are hockey stick-shaped. And, the wheelbase is 106.1-inch long.
The cockpit is fitted with superlative materials and the leather elements are neatly hand-stitched. The wooden parts have a clear, shining and real matte-finished look.

It contains an electric drive motor that accelerates the car’s front wheels with 157 horsepower in the EV mode and 181 horsepower in the extended-range mode. The battery array is T-shaped and it runs at 84-hp via a 1.4-liter internal-combustion four-banger. Alongside, it has been estimated that the car jumps from 0-to-60-mph in 8.2 seconds.
Driving experience in this car will also be awesome because the car has four driving modes, i.e. default Tour mode, Sport mode, Hold mode and Mountain mode. Tour mode is set in such a way that it balances economy and comfort. Sport mode ramps up steering, suspension and throttle responses. Hold mode saves battery for electric-only operation. And, Mountain mode runs the gas engine at higher speed so that the battery remains charged. Other than these four modes, there is another manually operable regenerative braking system that can be controlled through paddles that are fixed behind the steering wheel. These paddles allow the driver to set different levels of retardation aggression.
