She will only have front-wheel drive and sufficient ground clearance quiet ride in urban areas and rural lanes. On recent photos It should be noted that manufacturers, for the purpose of serial necessity, have significantly changed back car.
The bumper of the car has undergone adjustments, it has become less voluminous, the lights have acquired a more classic shape. The manufacturer thought about the convenience of landing rear passengers, increasing the opening and the door for them. In order to save money, the chrome finish of most of the elements presented on the first concept disappeared, the car became more mundane.
ABOUT technical specifications very little is known about the car. It is known that the front brakes of the model will be disc, and the rear - drum type. The car will receive a rack and pinion steering with hydraulic booster.
