In the tail there is the lights connected in a single piece along the entire trunk.

The interior features fully functional instrumentation combined with the 10.5-inch touchscreen multimedia system and climate controls, also touchscreen with a 9-inch display. The passenger compartment has seven seats with the third row foldable into the floor.
