The Model D fits into the D-segment and stretches 5.13m in length and 1.99m in width. Foxconn claims it'll go more than 660 km (410 miles) on a single charge, based on the WLTP test cycle. The car packs a lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery with a capacity between 100-120kWh.
Aerodynamics play a big role in the Model D's design. Its body features holes and creases, and there's a gap in the front grille that flows to the scuttle. These elements, along with a reduced frontal area, help the car achieve a drag coefficient of 0.23Cd.

Inside, the Model D offers seating for either six or seven passengers. The interior boasts some cool tech features, like armchairs with charging pads for iPhones and front seatback slots for iPads.

Under the skin, the Model D uses a centralized computer with 'zonal' modules for its electrical architecture. This setup aims to boost energy efficiency and cut costs. The platform comes from ZF Chassis Modules, a company Foxconn bought a 50% share in earlier this year.
Mass production is scheduled to begin in two years - although it won't be branded as a Foxtron. The company's business model is to license cars to other companies, who can even modify them slightly to suit their needs.
