The sleek plastic body has edges like a Star Wars fighter jet. Underneath is a tubular steel trellis frame and a double wishbone front axle with stabilizer bar.

ABS and ESP are standard, along with a modern infotainment system with 4.3-inch display, USB port and Bluetooth connectivity. A rear-view camera helps when maneuvering.
