Feature highlights across the range include a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen running Uconnect 5, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, keyless entry, automatic wipers, and advanced in-car connectivity.

Buyers can also opt for a suite of premium extras, such as a dual-pane sunroof, gesture-controlled tailgate, 360-degree camera, digital rear-view mirror, heated rear seats, ventilated front seats, and a premium audio package.
