Inside is where the largest update can be felt, literally. While the old design heavily relied on hard plastics, the new interior offers a more upscale feel. Although there are still some hard trims, especially around the armrests, the PVC trim and perforated PVC seating convey a premium quality and enhance the overall design.
Standard features on the Essence variant includes heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a panoramic screen, all of which enhance the overall experience.
The 12.3” touchscreen is bright and clear, with intuitive controls that make navigation easy. Below the screen, shortcut tabs provide quick access to the most frequently used features, which are particularly useful for minimising distractions while driving. Some convenient features included are a 360-degree high-definition camera, keyless entry, push-button start, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, all of which contribute to the premium feel. However, you’ll have to live without wireless phone charging.
