Heated front seats and mirrors are $500 extra.
The SV starts at $24,415 and gets two 12.3-inch displays, selectable drive modes, including the new Sport option, and automatic climate control. Heated seats, a heated steering wheel, and ambient lighting are included in a $900 Convenience package, while a moonroof costs an additional $650.
The sporty SR trim receives a $410 price hike for the new model year, starting at $26,245. It features unique fascias, black side sills, 18-inch alloy wheels, and wireless charging.
