The interior design has been updated with some modern touches.
The back has low loading floor, with adjustable cargo bin cover and cargo cover.
There’s plenty of back seat leg and head room, with a completely flat floor for the rear passengers. However, there aren’t rear climate vents.
There’s a new front end, headlights, and grille.
There are eco-focused 17-inch tires, sized 215/50R17.
Charging time with a level 2 charger in your garage is about 7 to 7.5 hours. DC fast charging on this is still 55kW, providing about 100 miles in 30 minutes.
Wireless Car Play and Android Auto are now available.
Physical climate controls and a push-button shifter, along with a new one-pedal drive function, are standard.
The steering is light and responsive, and the Bose sound system adds to the driving experience.
While the eco-focused tires are squeaky and the interior smells a bit like new plastic, it’s a very practical vehicle. The suspension is soft. The car tops out around 92mph.
It's a fantastic offering, and will very likely qualify for tax credits.
