The second in the line-up is a long range RWD variant packing in a 77kWh battery mated to a single rear-wheel drive motor producing 286 PS and 541 km claimed range. The long range AWD model gets a 77kWh battery mated to a dual motor all-wheel drive system producing 286 PS and 541 km claimed range. The fourth and the most powerful variant is the GTX which again packs in a 77kWh battery mated to a dual motor all-wheel drive system making 340 PS but a slightly lesser claimed range of 510 km. It is yet to be confirmed as to which variants make it to India.
