- The wheelbase has grown by 3 inches, approximately 117 inches in total.
- The SUV is about 1 inch taller, standing at 70 inches high.
Pending Details
Powertrain options, trim levels, and pricing remain undisclosed for now. Those updates will accompany the full reveal closer to the SUV’s early 2026 launch date.
