The horizontal tail lights include LEDs.

The exterior is very nicely executed.

The front grille is surrounded by a chrome frame.

The rearview mirrors are large.

The fog lamps have a chrome band around them.

The information system’s controls are located on the left spoke of the steering wheel.

The cruise control buttons are on the right spoke of the steering wheel.
