ever, frameless windows, 3-D bonnet, rectangular wheel arches, flared shoulder
area and slim one-piece rear-lights. Interior is minimalist yet spacious due to
absence of central tunnel and a flat floor that leaves one surrounded with a
feeling of ease and relaxation with freedom of movement giving it a lounge-like
atmosphere.
