They are controlled with icons rather than push-buttons. In place of conventional analogue dials, there are digital instruments. These are placed strategically directly in front of the driver and display a vast range of data, including sat-nav maps, climate, road conditions and music playlists.
For added space, the 40/20/40 split-folding feature of the seating gives you a generous amount of extra luggage space when the back seats are folded down.
