Dual-zone automatic climate control is available throughout the lineup, and a variety of materials, including cloth, ActiveX, and leather-trimmed seats, give drivers multiple cabin personalities to choose from. Optional seat belt colors like Black with Red Stripe, International Orange, and Prime Blue also let you match the interior to your exterior paint selection. Rear seatbacks fold to expand cargo space when needed.
