The refresh also saw changes made to the center console, with the center armrest gaining an additional palm rest. This upgrade allows the driver more room to relax, plus the dual cup holders are now fitted.
The use of enhanced quality dashboard materials and improved cabin trimmings, which have not bypassed the rear passengers, ensures that all occupants are seated in an elegantly finished, comfy, and quality-constructed cabin space.
