The powered tailgate simplifies loading, while the redesigned centre console incorporates wireless device charging and ample storage space.
Performance and Capability
A 2.0-litre turbocharged engine delivers 246 horsepower and 269 lb-ft of torque through an automatic transmission. Five-seat models accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 7.8 seconds, with a top speed of 225 km/h. The powertrain provides responsive performance for highway driving while maintaining refinement during city commutes.
Towing capacity reaches 2,000 kg for boats or travel trailers, with a gross train weight of 4,550 kg for five-seat models.
