Except for the front the vehicle is exactly the same, even the 6-spoke alloys are the same as on the 4R3. Power will come from a 2.8 liter 4-cylinder diesel engine, good for 108hp and 240nm, and there might be a petrol engine as well. Size (unconfirmed): 5030×1720×1735. Price will start from around 100.000 yuan or 16.000 USD.
