Its powertrain is front-wheel drive and is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission (CVT). Available in two trims: base and Premium, it features a well-furnished cabin with upscale materials throughout. Safety features consist of standard anti-lock brakes, electronic stability and traction control, numerous airbags and so on. For infotainment, it came with an eight-speaker sound system and an optional navigation system with voice controls and real-time traffic and weather.
