You’ll have plenty of options inside the cabin as well. You can choose from standard Black cloth and available SynTex® and leather seating trim. There are even three shades of leather to choose from: Black, Sage Green, and Olive Brown.
Along with the standard array of design elements, there are additional features that add more beyond stunning looks. The star-map LED exterior lighting offers a unique appearance that also shines brightly during your nighttime excursions. The available panoramic sunroof lets you flood the cabin with natural light and fresh air for added enjoyment on clear days.
