Like the two afformentioned models, the car adopted oval proportions with two-tone body paint and an upturned window line. The vehicle can transport up to 4 people.[1]
Pre-orders of the Urban became available in February 2021 and it is expected to reach its first customers in Australia in mid-2022.[2] The vehicle is to be manufactured in Adelaide, along with the company's other products.

The Urban starts at $35,995 AUD however it also has many optionals like Seat heating and a soft carpet. Power assisted steering is also only an optional, which is unusual for a modern car.
