The automaker has offered Magnetic Ride Control that reads the road 1,000 times per second to adjust damping for a smooth ride experience automatically.
There are multiple drive modes including Tour, Sport, Snow/Ice, and Tow/Haul, ensuring drivers can adjust vehicle performance to different drive conditions.
