Long range Dual motor AWD
What the Long range Dual motor adds over the Long range Single motor (+$5,900)
The $5,900 premium buys a second motor, raising output from 299 hp to 489 hp and torque from 361 to 620 lb-ft, cutting 0-60 to 4.8 seconds, and adding true torque vectoring. Passive dampers are replaced by dual-chamber active air suspension with multiple ride settings. Wheels grow from 20 to 21 inches. EPA range rises to 315 miles.
Pick the Long range Single motor if: You want lower cost and weight and do not need the extra power. · Pick the Long range Dual motor if: You want more power, torque vectoring, and active air suspension.
