Additional highlights include wraparound LED taillamps with connected light bars, chrome accents, and dual exhaust tips.
Renault has focused on space, comfort, and luxury materials inside the cabin, ensuring one of the most spacious interiors in its segment, particularly for rear-seat passengers. It also features premium soft-touch surfaces and brushed metal inserts. The leather upholstery with contrast stitching, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof with electric sunshade, and comfortable rear seats with reclining function further elevate the interior.
