Yes it is the model with the battery in the trunk and the fuel tank under the back seats. In fact I am not surprised from the fire in the trunk but trying to find the cause of the fire in the engine. I learned from the workshop manager that there are no energized parts after the engine is stopped but when the owner activated the remote control to open the doors this activated automatically the high pressure fuel pump inside the engine compartment located under the engine control box. after around 15 minutes the owner saw the flames which could be a proof that the origin of the fire is most probably electrical.
