Comfort is enhanced by H-Tex leatherette seat trim, a power driver seat, power liftgate, and dual-zone automatic temperature control. Practical touches such as a cargo cover, organizer, tray, and power windows add convenience, while heated door mirrors and fully automatic headlights improve visibility and ease of use in varying driving conditions.
