With 8 different adjustment options, the co-driver can find their ideal seating position for optimal comfort and support during long drives. The various adjustments can help alleviate fatigue and discomfort, especially on long trips.

9. Rain-Sensing Wipers

The additional cup holders come in handy in variants with the 6-seater layout as there’s no console in between the 2 captain chairs to hold your drinks.
