The model, which follows in the footsteps of the 3 Hatchback and 3 City SUV, is said to be a “sub-compact SUV” and brings new German-inspired styling, contemporary rugged detailing and coupe-like upper body lines for a strong, muscular appeal.

The brand also promises best-in-class space, a semi-command driving position and a minimalist design theme. A next-generation QorosQloud connectivity platform is accessed through the large Multi Media Hub touchscreen in the centre of the dash.

The B-segment concept also brings a plug-in hybrid electric four-wheel drivetrain with a ‘hands-free’ charging system.

Quros added that the concept previews new market segment, design and technology strategies being assessed by the brand for introduction in the coming years.
