Note that the overall volume measures the vehicles maximum dimensions and includes road clearance. The enclosed volume of the contoured hull is substantially lower.

The vehicle is fitted with wheeled suspension mounted on axles.

  • The vehicle performs well on metalled surfaces but has a relatively limited off-road capability.

  • Range 600 km at cruise, 450 km at top speed.

Crew / Passengers

An enclosed cabin fitted with clear windows and containing two front seats and four rear seats – two additional passengers can be accommodated on the rear seats though such arrangements are cramped. The driver's position is fitted with basic mechanical controls and a console that provides information such as velocity. Basic environment (the hull is weatherproof but it is not sealed).

Internal cargo storage: 1.4m³. Maximum load (including passengers): 1500 kg
