Paired with a smooth **10-Speed Automatic transmission**, it offers responsive acceleration and impressive efficiency — up to 20 city / 27–29 highway MPG (depending on RWD or 4WD configuration).

Bold Exterior Design

The Platinum stands out with its elegant yet commanding presence. It features a distinctive satin chrome and ebony grille, adaptive LED headlights with signature lighting, LED fog lamps, and sleek 20-inch or available 21-inch Luster Nickel-painted alloy wheels. Body-color door handles, silver skid plate elements, and black lower bodyside cladding with satin aluminum accents complete the upscale, modern look. The available **twin-panel panoramic moonroof** floods the cabin with natural light, enhancing the open, airy feel.
