It also adopts several tech upgrades from its petrol counterpart, including a touchscreen climate control, a 27-inch OLED display, over-the-air updates, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto.

Other enhancements include fingerprint authentication, micro-lens LED lighting, an aroma diffuser, augmented reality navigation, and UV sterilization.
