The SV has an improved infotainment system with an eight-inch screen, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay.

The top SR trim offers standard paint colors or two-tone color schemes along with the contrasting-colored roof. Its headlights are upgraded to LED bulbs, and it gets fog lights as well. The SR includes roof rails and has the option of cloth or upgraded simulated leather upholstery.
