The rear boasts a wide-body design, with taillights expected to follow the full-width trend.Regarding dimensions, official details remain under wraps, but the vehicle is expected to stretch nearly 5.3 meters in length with a wheelbase exceeding 3.1 meters — hallmarks of a typical D-class luxury flagship.On the intelligent driving front, the Dahan is expected to feature the "God's Eye B" LiDAR-assisted system and the "God's Eye 5.0" solution.

The pure electric version, according to leaked specs, will offer two trims: an 800-kilometer four-wheel-drive LiDAR flagship and a 1,008-kilometer rear-wheel-drive LiDAR premium model — the latter surpassing the 1,000-kilometer range barrier.Additionally, the new car will come equipped with the DiSus intelligent body control system and rear-wheel steering capabilities.
