The brand also presented an improved high-fidelity sound system that claims will makes drivers and passengers feel like they're sitting on stage with the orchestra.

The firms states that it has set for itself a target to phase out combustion engines from its vehicles by 2025. This will be achieved via a focus on developing both fuel cell and battery technology.

A full EV lineup consisting of eight models and an expected global EV sales of 400,000 units per year will aid toward this goal.
