Rear air conditioning keeps passengers comfortable on longer drives, while the rear window defroster and wiper ensure clear visibility in all conditions. Power windows, power door mirrors, and a telescoping steering wheel allow you to customize your driving position for optimal comfort.
Technology features like SYNC Communication & Entertainment System, Bluetooth connectivity, and steering wheel-mounted audio controls keep you connected and in control without taking your hands off the wheel. The rearview camera provides added confidence when reversing, and the compass and trip computer offer useful information at a glance. Speed-sensitive wipers and delay-off headlights demonstrate thoughtful engineering that adapts to your driving conditions.
Safety is integrated throughout the vehicle with dual front impact airbags, dual front side impact airbags, knee airbags, and overhead airbags protecting all rows. Electronic Stability Control, ABS brakes with brake assist, and the 4-wheel independent suspension work together to help maintain control in challenging situations. The low tire pressure warning system and emergency 911 Assist provide additional peace of mind.
