The wheels and front and rear bumpers are outfitted with crampons, or snow traction gears, to allow the car to drive through snowy areas with power and ease.

The rear bench seat is distinctive, as it can rotate 180 degrees on an axle and creates a comfortable sitting area that faces out of the vehicle’s rear.
