A striking LED strip runs the length of the dashboard, adding a modern touch to the interior ambiance.
Other interior points include a 10.25-inche TFT LCD Info display Rheostat, beefy 8-inche Infotainment with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear camera, auto dual-zone climate control, and four speakers.
