The main trims, Noblesse and the top-tier Signature trim, come standard with a premium steering wheel and advanced driver assistance systems such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Smart Cruise Control (stop & go).


The Signature trim additionally includes navigation-based Smart Cruise Control (highway/motorway safe zones/curves) and Highway Driving Assist functions.
