Furthermore, the exterior shows stability and strength and presents a highly modulated and elegant profile that points to a linear sense of speed. The corners of the bumper emphasize air guides and air curtains that consider airflow, while flat door handles, aluminum wheels, and the shape of the previous bumper to reduce wind resistance result in class leading aerodynamics with a cd value of 0.218. The interior has a digital island system that integrates a large vertical center display with a tray-type console. In addition to wireless charging, it integrates the functions of connecting smartphones and multimedia, giving users a new experience. Air conditioning, music, trunk release, and other controls are also integrated into large displays, and sound control greatly advances convenience and innovation.
