But the public debut was supposed to take place no earlier than the Frankfurt Motor Show in September this year.
Interestingly, the car was built on the MFA platform developed by Mercedes. It will also form the basis of the compact crossover QX30. The car will be put into production at the plant in Sunderland, UK.
As explained by the company's executive vice president Trevor Mann: "Investments totaling 250 million pounds sterling will allow the plant to advance further in development and confirm our serious intentions regarding the future of this enterprise."
As AutoPortal has learned, the car should be equipped with four-cylinder petrol engines. Nevertheless, the issue of using diesel engines for some countries is acute. In terms of design, the car will be similar to the concept of the same name, presented back in 2013 at the Frankfurt Motor Show.
