[3][4] Initial speculation compared the Model B to the Volkswagen ID.3, but the prototype was approximately the same size and targeted the same market segment as the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-30.
[7] The vehicle was expected to start production in 2023 at an unspecified factory in China and in 2024 at Lordstown Assembly in the United States.
[8] The range for a planned long-range version is estimated to exceed 500 km (310 mi) on the New European Driving Cycle.
It is expected to be offered either as a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive vehicle or a dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version.
[5] It shares its basic platform and drivetrain components with the Luxgen n7; the single-motor version is expected to have the same maximum output of 230 hp (170 kW; 230 PS) and traction battery with 60 kW-hr capacity,[1] offering a maximum range of 450 km (280 mi), NEDC.
