As for the added value, the SE variants come packed with $6860 worth of features, including 14/14 way power seats, Xenon headlights with high-beam assist, and a front parking assistance system. Meanwhile, HSE and HSE Dynamic models come with $6470 in added value, via a 12.3-inch TFT instrument panel, custom configurable mood lighting, and 18/18 way powered seats.
