The MegaPixel nixes the gullwing doors for a double-sliding door system. It has a B-pillar less design to ensure obtrusion-free entry and exit besides enhancing visibility. The battery layout and hub motors have been integrated to intrude less into the cabin, thereby allowing the car to accommodate four adults with luggage. The front seats are cantilevered on the central tunnel, allowing floor space to be utilized for storing everyday objects.
