Amenities That Help Escape Stand Out

Technology
AWD with AWD Disconnect
Designed to help save fuel, the available all-wheel-drive disconnect allows for the disconnection of the rear driveline when the system detects AWD is not needed. This allows only the front wheels to propel the vehicle, therefore reducing drag and the overall energy demands of the drivetrain.
Head-Up Display
Keep your eyes on the road. The available head-up display creates an image on a display screen in front of the driver on the windshield. This minimizes the distraction of having to look at the instrument panel. The head-up display keeps you informed with various driver-assist features that include Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop-and-Go, Lane-Keeping System, Navigation, incoming calls and more.*
*Don’t drive while distracted. See owner’s manual for details and system limitations.
