Other features include Hill-start Assist and Vehicle Stability Management, but these are only few of the safety systems. If you opt for a better-equipped model such as the Active, Style or Style Nav you will get dual zone climate control, 15- or 16-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, automatic headlights and more.
