Rear seats fold 50/50 nearly flat. Flexible board adjusts height or stands for taller loads, with under-box storage and multi-hooks. Resin floor handles dirty outdoor gear well. Space suits light shopping or camping kit but no official litre figures published.
No towing ratings published for this kei crossover. Payload sits around 220 kg based on curb weight near 830 kg 2WD or 880 kg 4WD against 1050-1110 kg gross. Grip support control and 190 mm ground clearance aid light rough roads or snow, but it remains a personal runabout rather than heavy work vehicle.

The G cabin feels open and airy with the standard Sky Feel Top glass roof over the front seats, which has super UV and IR cut plus a shade. Fatigue-resistant seat shapes support longer drives. Front seat heaters come standard, along with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, orange accents, and a front center armrest. Driver seat lifter and tilt steering aid positioning.

Dual front airbags, side airbags, and curtain airbags protect occupants. The 2020 JNCAP score stands at four stars overall.
Keeping the car simple means regular oil and filter service plus the usual light-vehicle checks. The tough interior plastics and easy-clean rear seat backs suit outdoor use. Ground clearance of 190 mm and the boxy shape help daily practicality.
