All seats offer heating, ventilation, and massage functions.

The backrests can recline up to 130 degrees and fold at the touch of a button. Rear seats include powered leg rests and 6-way adjustable headrests. A 21.4-inch rear-seat entertainment screen deploys from the headliner. This screen can be used for watching content or playing games via an attached console.
