The panoramic visibility, 360-Degree Zone Lighting, and a backup camera support situational awareness whether navigating tight urban spaces or reversing out of a driveway.
The Equipment Group 202A High Package delivers real-world convenience and comfort for the enthusiast, with second-row power-folding captainâs chairs that make loading gear or welcoming passengers seamless. The Power Panoramic Vista Roof opens up the cabin for a light-filled drive, while heated ActiveX front seats and a heated steering wheel keep the driver comfortable in all seasons.
