It is worth noting the unusual placement of the scales of secondary instruments - they surrounded the tachometer dial in a tight ring. The center console is decorated with an old-fashioned clock with hands. The finish of the steering wheel rim is beyond compare. There is leather covering running parallel to the wood, so the driver’s hands will not slip on the steering wheel. The massive tailgate is electrically operated.

Moreover, each of this pair of seats has its own folding armrest in addition to a spacious cabinet between them. The third row seats won't be too cramped either. The amount of legroom for their occupants is about the same as in the second row of a mid-size SUV.
