However each options rear infotainment system with electronically reclining seats and the centre seat folds to unveil extra luxurious facilities.
Surprisingly sufficient, the boot area has been barely lowered. This is because of the truth that the battery for the hybrid system is situated slightly below the floorboard. However it’s nonetheless greater than you anticipated. If for any purpose, area will not be sufficient, you’ll be able to nonetheless fold down the again seats and get huge boot area. The ground is larger by 44 millimetres and area has come down by 98 litres.
