It is a C-segment sedan measuring 4,675 mm in length, 1,842 mm in width, and 1,473 mm in height. The wheelbase is estimated at 2,680 mm. These dimensions put it in direct competition with established players like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla.

The sporty front face features a 3D Digital Burning Grille with functional air vents, exuding a sporty and youthful character.

Power is sent to the front wheels via an 8-speed iCVT transmission, enabling the sedan to run from zero to 100 kmph in 11.5 seconds.
