The 23.5 centimeters more benefit the trunk volume, which is 720 liters. The two familiar 1.6-liter engines with 128 hp (gasoline) and 115 hp (diesel) are available for propulsion.
The brand's second world premiere is the SIV-2 Concept (Smart Interface Vehicle). The lines of the body extend from the front to the rear and form a harmonious contrast to the L-shaped bend in front of the rear wheels. The SIV-2 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine combined with a 14-hp electric motor-generator and a 500 kWh lithium-ion battery. The 48-volt mild hybrid system reduces emissions and increases smoothness at idle and low speeds.
