The cabin offers solid basic kit from the entry grade with cruise control and rear parking sensors as standard. Higher grades add dual-zone automatic climate control, a 7- or 8-inch touchscreen, and a reversing camera. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay arrived with the 2019 update on upper trims only. Automatic emergency braking became available later in the run and standard from early 2018, while lane-keep assist featured on higher or later grades. The interior feels spacious for five adults with good storage and reclining rear seats.
Boot space reaches 720 litres with seats up measured to the roof including underfloor storage, expanding to 1440 litres with the 60:40 rear seats folded flat for a long, regular load bay.
Braked towing capacity stands at 1000 kg and unbraked at 500 kg for the petrol 2WD. Payload is 480 kg. The long load floor and underfloor compartment suit everyday family or light work duties well, though no heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension is listed for this version.

Higher grades get dual-zone climate control, leather or TPU seats, heated front and rear seats, and a heated steering wheel. Driver's seat is height-adjustable and ventilated on some versions.
