The headlight gives a retro look known as Dual track ring lights. Thanks to the elevated engine cover and black front surround, the front has a commanding presence.

The rear end gets a nice and beautiful Niutron logo, integrated roof spoilers, and side airfoils.

The Niutron NV’s driving assistance system comes standard with 24 advanced assistant driving functions including automatic emergency braking, full-speed adaptive cruise, lane centering control, lever change lane, blind spot monitoring, and automatic parking assist.
