The optional Off-grid package includes a 104 W solar panel for the 600 version and a 174 W panel for the 680 version. The package costs from 1719.55 euros for the 600 model and from 2326.45 euros for the 680 model; the batteries alone can be ordered separately for 833 euros.

Other updates

A driver attention warning system is now standard, with an optional intersection assistant. Infotainment features displays up to 12 inches.
