In the fall of 2013, the debut of the model was planned, however, the presentation was postponed due to various circumstances.

The main advantage here is the use of attractive optics in the design and logical arrangement of the license plate. The sedan has an unattractive massive trunk lid, which makes the rear end look a bit creepy.

This is all included in the basic equipment of the car.
