Rear passengers also enjoy a comfortable travel experience. The large panoramic glass roof ensures a bright and welcoming cabin, though unfortunately, it lacks a sunshade. The rear climate vents and USB charging ports further enhance passenger comfort. Behind the wheel, paddle shifters allow the driver to adjust regenerative braking intensity. There are multiple modes: a lighter setting for relaxed driving, a stronger setting for maximum energy recovery, and an automatic mode that adapts to traffic conditions. <\/p>\n
