- There is 311 liters of boot space with seats up and 1,118 liters of boot space with the seats down.
- The rear door is a little tight for taller people.
- Good interior quality; many areas are nicely padded.
-The interior looks elegant and it's 3D. The digital screen seems rather quick, even though its effects feel slow. The seat is great.
- Many interior controls are just alright, and aren’t high quality.
