- The new Yugo features a retro 1980s aesthetic with modern updates such as LED lights and alloy wheels, designed by Darko Marčeta.
- Plans include an affordable two-door petrol model with manual and automatic options, with potential electric variants in the future.
- A working prototype is targeted for presentation at the Belgrade Expo in 2027, with production and market entry to follow if plans proceed.
