A six-speaker audio system includes AM/FM radio and SiriusXM with a 360L trial subscription. The system supports Wi-Fi hotspot capability and 5G connectivity for multiple devices.
An 11-inch diagonal digital driver information display replaces traditional analogue gauges, providing customizable readouts for speed, fuel, navigation, and driver assistance features. Multiple USB-A and USB-C ports throughout the cabin allow charging for smartphones and tablets. Wireless charging becomes available on Elevation Premium packages and can be added to AT4 models.
