The cabin has a standard 7-inch colour touchscreen that controls audio, climate and navigation where fitted. Dual-zone automatic climate control and cruise control with speed limiter are standard. Rear parking sensors are standard across the range. Front parking sensors, reversing camera, blind spot monitor and adaptive cruise control with emergency brake assist are available on higher grades or as options.

Braked towing capacity is 1850 kg and unbraked is 750 kg. Payload is listed at 536 kg on some variants. The car is a luxury sedan rather than a work vehicle, with no published heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension packages.
The cabin uses softgrain or bond grain leather on multi-way power seats that feel supportive for long drives. Dual-zone climate control keeps temperatures steady while phosphor blue mood lighting sets a calm tone. An electric glass sunroof opens the space and acoustic laminated glass cuts road noise. Higher grades add active ventilated seats and a heated wheel for year-round ease.
