Functionality, Comfort & Equipment - Quieter and more Practical

Still onboard are its innovative Karakuri seating and storage system (see box), 45 storage compartments , cockpit with all-round adjustability and a high-mount shift lever, one-touch second- row seat-tip functionality for easy entry to the third row and a practical dual-stage liftgate with two opening heights (1,810 mm and 1,910 mm) that prevents scratches in garages and is convenient to use for people of different body sizes. The trunk offers a volume of up to 1,678 litres (Five-seat version with second row down).
