Features
A fantastic new glass interface stretches across the dashboard and covers a large infotainment screen and digital dials and read-outs behind the steering wheel. The graphics are crystal clear and pin-sharp and do some whizz-bang stuff. Take the music library imported from your smartphone, for example. Have it on shuffle and you can swipe the curved carousel of song images behind the one currently playing to elect the next one. Very clever.
The satnav has an augmented reality function. Set a route, and at low speeds the image changes from map to a camera view of the road ahead from the car. When your next turn approaches, a blue arrow with the road name written on it appears on your camera.
The ambient lighting strips in our test car were set was green, but if you turned the temperature up, they changed to red; turn it down and they changed to blue. Nice touch.
Standard equipment on our car included the ambient lighting (with a choice of 54 colours), black kappa leather upholstery, open-pore wood trim, puddle lamps, active park assist and reversing camera, blind spot and traffic sign assistance and a choice of dynamic driving modes (comfort, sport etc).
Options on our car included off-roading and towing packs, metallic paint schemes, more safety functions such as evasive steering and premium plus pack including wireless charging, perfume and a Burmester surround sound system.
