Its debut is scheduled for 2025. Then it will be the turn of the other two models: it should be the turn of the first SUVs electric in 2027, then to compact low cost the following year or shortly thereafter.

…and a low cost compact
Separate mention for the new low-cost compact electric vehicle, the latest in chronological order to make its debut: according to the latest reports Maximum priority will be given to cost reductionit is no coincidence that it should have fewer technological features and be of dimensions similar to those of Toyota Corolla or Volkswagen Golf.
