No standard wireless charging pad (optional).
Good camera system, though slightly distorted.
Space & Practicality:
Three-row SUV with power-folding rear seats and decent cargo space, plus a deep sub-trunk.
Second row has captain’s chairs with heated seats and charging ports.
Third row is usable, especially for shorter passengers, but has smaller windows and limited amenities.
Pricing & Verdict:

Positioned below the Platinum trim.
Best suited for families who want extra power, tech, and light off-road capability, though it’s not meant for serious off-roading.
