Inside, the cabin gets an all-black theme with a 3.5-inch Harman infotainment system with steering-mounted controls and a height-adjustable driver seat.
Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), engine immobilizer, keyless entry, speed sending door locks, seatbelt reminders, overspeed warning (1 beep over 80km/h, constant beep above 120km/h), puncture repair kit and a 4-star Global NCAP safety rating.
