It’s all about the voyage, not the destination |

ENGINE 3.8-litre V6 is smooth and commendably hushed
INTERIOR Stow 'n Go seating system unmatched for versatility

Thanks to the car’s size the entire second and third row can be hidden into the floor. All you need to do is to open a couple of trapdoors on the floor, pull a few straps and stash everything away. You can ultimately turn the car into a two-seater with a completely flat rear compartment large enough to comfortably carry a small bed. When the seats are not stowed, the under floor compartments double nicely as storage spaces, handy for storing things that might otherwise roll around inside the expansive cabin. The electric doors that open into the passenger cabin slides sideways and can be manually pulled open or engaged with the press of a button. Second row in the car comprises of two individual seats. The third row gets a full bench for three occupants. There is definitely no lack of space inside the car, which is best enjoyed at night because a full halo lighting system runs the length of the car’s roof, putting out a soft glow to give the whole cabin an airplane-like atmosphere without distracting the driver’s vision. The DVD player with a screen that folds into the roof helps further the ambience. There is an expansive view up front, though it takes some guesswork to figure out where the nose of the car ends as it slopes steeply out of view.
