Wheel options include 17-inch Steel Gray alloy wheels on the SE trim and eye-catching 19-inch alloy wheels on premium models, all fitted with all-season tires. Deep-tinted glass ensures privacy and helps keep the interior comfortable, while body-colored or black power-heated side mirrors with manual folding add both style and practicality. The Limited trim offers a power sunroof with a sunshade, opening the cabin to fresh air and natural light for drivers exploring Pascagoula and beyond.
