The new model will have power steering, sealed side windows, lockable doors, a higher ground clearance, an improved exterior and interior design. These features were absent in the first model.

“Designed with local road conditions in mind, the new Mobius II combines the core performance of an off-road car to cover long distances on all roads reliably and comfortably,” a letter sent to a prospective buyer read in part.

Mobius target customers include small and mid-sized enterprises (SMEs) in agribusiness and infrastructure.
