The dimensions of the vehicle are 5380 × 2004 × 1820 mm, the wheelbase is 3100 mm. Weight is 3.2 tons. The standard clearance is 230 mm.

A hybrid power plant is planned for the vehicle, consisting of an eight-cylinder 4.4-litre gasoline engine with a turbine (power 598 hp, torque 880 Nm), a compact electric motor and an automatic transmission with 9 speeds. The battery of the hybrid power plant is placed above the rear axle in order to optimize weight distribution. The power plant provides acceleration to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.
