Wheel options range from 18-inch for entry-level variants to 19-inch for higher trim levels.

Key highlights include a 10.4-inch portrait-oriented touchscreen infotainment system powered by Renault's Google-based OpenR Link interface. The rear seats are designed for flexibility, with the ability to slide 160mm backwards, maximizing either knee room or expanding the generous boot capacity from 492 litres to an impressive 624 litres.
