Long drives are made effortless with the Power Adjust 8-Way Driver Seat and Power Adjust 8-Way Front Passenger Seat, both of which include 4-Way power lumbar adjust to help reduce fatigue during extended trips across the state.

The cabin environment is meticulously controlled via the Dual-zone front climate control, ensuring both you and your co-pilot stay comfortable regardless of the temperature outside. On humid summer days, the Ventilated front seats provide a cooling breeze, while the Heated front seats and Heated steering wheel are essential for those frigid Indiana mornings. Practicality is baked into the design, from the 60-40 folding rear seats that expand your cargo capacity to the Power Liftgate that makes loading groceries or sports gear a breeze.
