The price was valid for the only possible variant, Confort Plus, which benefited from several safety equipment, including speed limiter, ABS, ESP, electronic brake force distributor, but also an emergency button and six airbags. In addition to these features, the most hands-on could optionally order the 30 kW DC fast charging adapter and a Mode 2 – 10A charging cable.

However, this variant did not reach Romania, returning to the only variant available in 2021, Confort Plus. The first price increase was on November 8, 2021, when the price was 19,100 euros. Even so, this price was not the final one either, and starting with April 2022, the basic version now costs 20,300 euros.
