The central panel is distinguished by “layering”, above which a multimedia touchscreen with a 12,3 ”diagonal display found its place on top. Instead of a push-button climate control module, an 8 ”touch screen monitor was installed, which is “responsible” for other off-road capabilities. On top of the block are the main deflectors. Dashboard - virtual, with three sections. Of the driver's assistants, it is known about the lane keeping system, warning of dangerous proximity, and parking sensors. The "base" already provides heated seats. The car is designed for five riders, the trunk volume in the normal state is 703 liters, and with the rear seats folded down, it expands to 1662 liters.
