Sitting inside, the dashboard view is excellent, enhanced by blue ambient lighting present on the dashboard, doors, and footwell area. Rear passengers benefit from AC vents and a Type-A USB port. There is good legroom and comfortable thigh support. With a 2500 mm wheelbase, the car offers ample space. Rear occupants also get grab handles with hooks, a parcel tray, adjustable headrests, and an armrest.
The front seats are fabric and offer both height adjustment and recline options. The smart key allows for easy locking, unlocking, and boot access, as well as follow-me-home headlamps.

The dashboard includes a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, USB, and AUX connectivity. It also features a reverse parking camera with a clear display.
