The rear lamps are set similarly low, above which there is a large cable compartment in the shape of a rounded square.[2]
The simple, minimalist passenger cabin is dominated by an angular central console composed of a touchscreen multimedia system display, under which there is a set of three air vents and an extensive panel of physical buttons to control vehicle functions.[3]
