11.2-Inch Center Display 
Easily manage navigation, entertainment, and driver assistance features using the free-standing 11.2-inch center touchscreen. Its anti-glare design ensures clear visibility of maps, media, and more-even in bright sunlight. The vertically oriented display is built to support driving focus, showing more of the road ahead during navigation. A fixed menu bar at the bottom offers quick access to key functions like the home screen, climate settings, and vehicle controls. It also provides shortcuts to frequently used features, including drive modes, the available 360° camera, recent apps, and Google Assistant. The system intelligently displays only the options relevant to your current activity-whether you're parked, driving, or on a call.
12.3 Inch Driver Display
See driving information the way you prefer on the 12.3-inch digital driver display. Choose between two display modes to match your driving needs:

  • Calm shows essential info like speed and simplified navigation prompts.

  • Navi adds a full map view for more detailed guidance.

 Head up Display

Choose the available head-up display to keep key driving information within your line of sight. It projects details like speed, speed limits, and navigation prompts onto the windshield, appearing just above the hood-so you can stay focused on the road ahead.

The display remains sharp and easy to read in varying light conditions, from tunnels to nighttime driving. You can also customize its brightness and position to match your preferences.


Drive Modes at Your Fingertips
Easily switch between two drive modes directly from the center display-no need to navigate back to settings.

The default 8-speed automatic mode offers smooth, balanced acceleration for everyday driving on city streets and highways.

When the road gets rough, switch to Off-road mode for improved traction and stability on uneven or slippery terrain.

Floor vents and pillar-mounted air outlets enhance rear-seat comfort.
