The EM-i models get a 1.5 liter naturally aspirated inline 4 engine making 110 horsepower combined with a front motor making 211 horsepower. The EM-P models use a turbocharged inline 4 of the same capacity making 161 horsepower combined with a front motor making 215 horsepower. Two batteries are available, a 8.5 kWh battery and an 18.4 kWh battery. Both batteries are LFP batteries. The 8.5 kWh battery is only available with the EM-i models. Both EM-i and EM-p models get a battery electric range of 130 kilometers, the EM-i also has an option to have a smaller battery with a 60 kilometer electric range.

The total range is estimated to be from 1500 to 1600 kilometers.
