Filling with comfort functions, you can say briefly – there is everything your heart desires. Cruise control, three-zone climate control, all seats are electrically adjustable, heated and ventilated,
In the second row, you can have a sofa designed for three or two separate chairs, places with a margin in all directions. You can sit in the back with your legs stretched out, like in a limousine. A small house that exudes quality and chic, it is cozy in it.
