Optional Features
The Sport Appearance package includes 18-inch polished alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, darker exterior trim, and interior touches that include contrasting seat piping. The Executive package upgrades the leather upholstery even further and adds real wood to the interior trim. In addition to a navigation system, the Navigation package includes a rearview camera, blind-spot warning system, and, on the hybrid trim, a surround sound system. The Ultimate package includes the Navigation package features plus chrome wheels, sunroof, adaptive xenon headlights, and more. Some of the package features are available as stand-alone options.
