Dashboard and Infotainment: New dash layout with free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment featuring wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Seating and Upholstery: The new seat upholstery will be black and brown-coloured leather for a more premium feel. Other features like the centre armrest along with more storage spaces have been provided.
