The front seats were designed in collaboration with orthopaedic surgeons to deliver ergonomic support and alleviate pressure points, hunching and shoulder strain. Customise your driving position using the power-operated adjustments. The extra wide extending seat cushion adds more thigh support. Take the edge off cold commutes and camping trips by opting for heated seats.

Ergonomically designed rear seats and generous legroom deliver cabin-wide comfort. Rear seats are designed to the same safety standards as our larger cars, and to help improve the driver’s view out the back, the outer second-row head restraints can fold down at the touch of a button. Upgrade to heat rear seats and keep passengers toasty on colder days.

Life can be a lot, so this cabin is designed with practical storage to keep things simple on the road. Lift the centre console armrest to store your things in a small storage area. Drop your phone on the optional charging pad. There's a removable bin at the back of the console to stow items or for rubbish. Keep your drink within reach using the console's two cup holders. Pop your laptop or handbag in the large door pockets. And hang takeaways on the dashboard fold-out hook.
