Interior: Where Open-Air Meets Upscale

Every trim includes automatic dual-zone climate control, power front seats with memory, and heated front seats. Rear seatback releases in the trunk area make it easy to load longer items, while split-folding rear seats increase the 9.6 cubic feet of cargo flexibility.
