Either a 175-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder or a 256-hp six-cylinder engine can be had under the hood.

Inside, brown leather is now available on all surfaces while woodgrain and piano-black accents are also included. A heated steering wheel comes standard on the Touring model as does the brand’s 7.0-inch touchscreen with Starlink infotainment.
