Inside, the cabin is defined by a significant shift toward digitisation, featuring a large central touchscreen and the return of physical steering wheel buttons following customer feedback. It remains a benchmark for the family SUV segment, balancing refined road manners with improved luggage capacity and advanced matrix LED lighting technology.
