The cabin stays bright and open with the large standard folding glass roof even when closed. Dual-zone climate control is available or standard depending on market and grade. Front seats offer height adjustment and extra lateral support, with electric height, lumbar and memory on some grades plus heated fronts as option or standard in certain markets. Fixed glass wind deflector cuts buffeting for four up to higher speeds, with a mesh screen for two-up use.
