Unveiled at CES 2026, the design responds to automated riding, especially Level 4 driving, where the vehicle can manage all driving tasks within certain conditions without human input. The retractable steering wheel is co-developed with Tensor's Robocar autonomous driving system.

This creates more space in the cabin and allows the front seat area to function more like a living or working space rather than a traditional cockpit.
