The SE model gets additional rear electric windows, electric mirrors, trip computer, temperature sensor, body colour door handles with chrome, automatic A/C, cruise control and leather steering wheel. The top SE model gets 16-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, 7-inch touchscreen with GPS and navigation, and optional leather seats. Safety features include front driver and passenger airbags, and ABS.
