The 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while a 7-inch digital driver display shows key information like speed and mileage. With 339 liters of boot space and a 60:40 split rear seat, it’s practical for families. The seats are cushioned for comfort, offering ample legroom and headroom for all passengers.
