The Dual-Screen Command Centre: A freestanding dual-screen display - featuring a 10.25-inch central display-running the latest MBUX software for intuitive, voice or touch-controlled connectivity.
The Turbine Aesthetic: Three round, turbine-look air vents that bring a high-quality aviation feel to the cockpit.
Premium Touchpoints: A compact, Nappa leather steering wheel and a redesigned centre console.
