Introduced for the 2022 model year, this compact luxury electric crossover marked the brand’s first dedicated battery-electric production model. It arrived in late 2021 as part of the company’s push into electrification, using a purpose-built EV architecture rather than adapting an existing gasoline platform. The design established a distinct identity for the nameplate, with a coupe-like profile, short overhangs, and a cabin focused on modern digital controls and a high-tech user experience.
From the start, the vehicle was positioned as a premium, style-forward alternative in the growing electric SUV segment. Its early appeal centered on a mix of restrained luxury and unusual design details, including the Crystal Sphere gear selector and Face Connect facial-recognition entry tech, which helped set it apart from more conventional rivals. It also became one of the key vehicles in the brand’s global expansion of its electric lineup.
For 2025, the model received its first major redesign, refreshing the exterior and interior while keeping its role as the brand’s dedicated electric compact SUV. It remains in production today as one of the core vehicles in the maker’s EV range.
