Exterior
The LIV-1 is a good size SUV. The profile is sculpted with sharp lines right beneath the side windows, cornering above the wheelbase.
Fitted with large bumpers in the front to go with a small grill, the car gives a sleek look to go with its tall stance. The entire canopy is constructed of a full length glass, giving it a glasshouse look.
Interior
The interior is expected to have 5 LCD displays located in various positions. A 10 inch touch-screen display will be used as the central panel with 4 additional 7 inch monitors integrated onto the headrests.
It is intended that the LIV-1 provide a lounge like interior with glossy black trims, aluminum elements, and leather seating.
