The front row has well-profiled chairs with lumbar-lateral support, elastic padding and a large number of working adjustments.

The five-seater layout of the cabin should be considered conditional, since for the average rider of the three-seater rear sofa, significant discomfort is created by the voluminous tip of the central tunnel.
