Inside, the new hatchback sports an uncluttered dashboard layout, wrapped in an all-black theme with a contrasting silver accent. Features highlights include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay smartphone integration support, digitized instrument cluster, remote keyless entry, manual AC, front power windows and steering wheel-mounted audio controls.
