Interior comfort and convenience take priority in this vehicle's design. Dual front impact and side impact airbags work alongside knee and overhead airbags to protect occupants. The split folding rear seat offers flexibility for cargo or passengers, and front reading lights combined with a tilt and telescoping steering wheel make every drive adjustable to your preferences. Climate control extends beyond the first two rows with rear air conditioning and second row HVAC controls, ensuring all passengers remain comfortable.

Technology features support both connectivity and navigation. The integration of Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps you linked to your digital life, while the navigation system guides you reliably to your destination. SiriusXM with 360L brings entertainment options throughout your drive, and steering wheel mounted audio controls let you manage selections without taking your attention from the road.

The Active package enhances the exterior with LED signature lighting and a refined front fascia that complements the vehicle's purposeful appearance. Heated door mirrors, a rear window wiper with speed-sensitive operation, and power windows combine to add convenience to daily driving. The four-wheel disc braking system with ABS provides responsive stopping power in all conditions.
