The engine produces 250 PS at 3,250 rpm and 600 Nm of torque between 1,750 and 2,000 rpm. Power is managed via a 10-speed automatic transmission featuring an eShifter. It utilises an ElectroMagnetic Transfer Case (EMTC) full-time four-wheel-drive system for automatic torque distribution.

The model is distinguished by black "PLATINUM" lettering on the hood, front doors, and tailgate, alongside 21-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 275/45 R21 tyres. It includes power-folding third-row seats.

Body colours include Acacia Green, Meteor Grey, and Absolute Black.
