Under typical operating conditions, which include a driver and three passengers, the vehicle offers a practical range of about 170 kilometres. It can reach a top speed of 60 kmph and carry a payload of up to 330 kilograms.

Additional features include 12-inch radial tyres for stability and comfort, a 6.2-inch PMVA digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, and a charging time between 4 to 5 hours, making it suitable for daily use.
