The interior design is modern and fresh, with the dash being dominated by a 15.6-inch rotatable central touchscreen.

Just a bit of familiarisation is required.
A multi-adjustable driving position offers unobstructed views of the digital and multi-configurable instrumentation display. Similarly, vision out is good too.
