The Elite specification also includes high-grade cloth seat covers, a six-way powered driver’s seat and a four-way manual adjustable passenger seat. Technology is abundant, with a 360-degree camera, daytime running lights, a dual 12.3-inch infotainment screen and instrument cluster and Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.
