We've tested and validated the BSIS and the MOIS:: ✔️ BSIS assists the driver in detecting vulnerable road users in the blind spot, particularly when turning or changing lanes ✔️ MOIS helps prevent accidents when pulling away by detecting objects or people in front of the vehicle

The endurance test is a practical validation test to assess the performance & reliability of GSR safety systems. Systems such as the Blind Spot Information System, Advanced Emergency Braking System & Lane Departure Warning System are monitored under realistic driving conditions.

Fuel efficiency is a key pillar of the Futura philosophy. To ensure optimal performance, we carry out extensive fuel consumption tests on carefully selected routes that include a mix of road types, elevations and driving conditions. These routes help us optimise every detail!

The FUTURA 3 powertrain integration test fine-tunes the interaction between the engine and transmission to ensure optimal drivability and fuel efficiency. The result is an optimised software setup that maximises overall vehicle performance!

FUTURA 3 enters the final phase before introduction: testing, where systems, details & experiences are validated to meet the market’s highest standards. This final step paves the way for our new generation of performance, safety & comfort, ready to redefine the future of travel!

We are concluding our Vision Futura journey — featuring VISION DRIVER, VISION OPERATOR and VISION PASSENGER— and moving forward to the exciting next chapter of the introduction of our FUTURA 3!
