| Others |
The “520 Lite” likely refers to an entry/trim variant of the S05 line (particularly in Thailand/SEA markets) — exact variant-specific specs may differ slightly (battery size, range, price). Many of the publicly available specs are for the broader S05 BEV or EREV versions, so for the “Lite” trim some values (battery size, range, features) may be lower. Given the launch pricing of ~USD 16.4k, it positions the model as a value compact EV offering. |
