Anybody up to 1.9 metres tall is apparently able to stand up inside, while the dashboard features multiple screens; a seven-inch driver’s display, a 12-inch touchscreen and a pair of 10-inch screens at either end of the dash that relay images from the rear-view cameras. No details have been given about the Estafette’s powertrain, or even if the final production model will look like the concept.
