MAIN FEATURES
Combining AIRY and MeZONE
AIRY: "A Seamless, Expansive Space"
Soft padding encloses and connects the top surface of the instrument panel to the upper door trims. Highly fashionable seamless ornamentation connects the advanced, slim center display* to the door trims. Seamless piano-black panels smoothly connect the compact center operation area to the air vents on both sides of the instrument panel. The layered construction of these 3 elements creates an expansive atmosphere.

Diamond-shaped indentations that reflect the vehicle's iconic motif radiate outward from the front interior light, producing an expansive feel. In addition, when opening and closing the visors, the indentations make them easier to grab.
