The company is expected to build it on the K1 platform of the new generation Centro. The Guangzhou plant is estimated to produce 70,000 units of micro SUVs annually.

The company will bring the 1.0-liter turbo engine in the micro-SUV, which is being produced under the AX code name. It is said that the company is preparing to make it public in the Indian market for the first time.
