At the heart of the interior is a 15.6-inch rotating touchscreen, seamlessly integrating Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ for effortless connectivity.

The DYNAUDIO 12-speaker system delivers immersive sound, enriching the driving experience for everyone on board. Adding to the ambience, the expansive panoramic glass roof fills the cabin with natural light, while the dual-zone automatic air conditioning ensures maximum comfort for all passengers.

Elevating Customer Experience with Comprehensive Support Network
