Best Version to Get

We would pick the second-tier Premium version to get keyless entry and access to the optional power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and BSW. This trim also includes the larger infotainment touchscreen. The aforementioned options are not offered on the base model. For more acceleration verve, you have to step to the Sport model, which includes the 182-hp, 2.5-liter engine. And if you’ve a fan of leather seats, check out the Limited trim.
