Its performance is exemplary, thanks to the quick-shifting 7-speed DCT gearbox, which makes it agile and enjoyable to drive. The vehicles design, both inside and out, is a major draw, with the matte graphite color and refreshed exterior features like the redesigned front tiger-nose grille and star-map design LED headlamps making it a head-turner. The interior is equally impressive, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, ventilated seats, and a host of modern amenities including an air purifier and a small sunroof. The addition of Level 1 ADAS features such as forward collision warning and lane-keep assist enhances safety, making this car a well-rounded choice for both city driving and highway cruises.
