Every Preferred comes with the ultrawide 11-inch infotainment screen, 8-inch Driver Information Center, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

Inside, the flexible 40/60 split rear seats and available flat-folding front-passenger seat give you room to adapt to your day-whether that's passengers or cargo.
