Both variants have greater driving range, expected to be due in part to the sleeker Cybertruck-inspired front end which incorporates a full-width LED light bar.

There’s an updated wheel and tyre package which is also said to help offer a smoother driving experience as well as greater grip. Only 20-inch alloy wheels are available, at least for now.

In the cabin there are new ventilated front seats, while rear occupants get a 8.0-inch touchscreen and power-reclining seats. Pricing
