The CVT (Lineartronic) transmission offers paddle-shift controls on the steering wheel and an eight-speed manual shift mode for a more engaging drive. Fuel efficiency varies from 19-21 MPG city and 25-26 MPG highway, depending on the trim, and the 19.3-gallon fuel tank ensures a strong range for extended trips.

Upholstery options differ by trim, offering everything from durable StarTex materials to luxurious perforated Nappa leather. All trims include heated front seats, with ventilated seats available on Touring and Onyx Edition Touring models.

Second-row seats can also be heated on certain trims, and manual sun blinds help keep sunlight out for second-row passengers.
