The car highlights a timeless design that boosts daily environmental standards. The model made its debut in 1987. The Favorit EV concept is more than a copy, it is run on an [electric battery pack](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jaguar-type-00) which takes the classic chunky headlights and replaces it with slim LED stripes hidden behind slightly clear covers. The brand's 'Tech-Deck Face' design is retained as well. Other details include its asymmetrical badge and a minimal silhouette that blends elements of the past and the present. The design team integrates brown leather at the interiors and open-centric headrests as a nod to the 80s.
