The use of digital tech reduces the number of physical buttons, including digital controls for air conditioning.
Advanced driver assistance systems are standard, including front collision warning, Lane Departure Warning and Traffic Sign Recognition. Optional features such as Steering and Lane Control Assist and Parking Assistant Professional enhance the vehicle’s automation capabilities.
