Which trim is worth it

ES

Worth it

The ES trim offers essential features at a competitive price point, making it a good value for budget-conscious buyers who need basic functionality without extra frills.

SE

Worth it

Upgrading to the SE trim provides additional comfort and convenience features, such as improved infotainment options and enhanced interior materials, which can enhance the overall driving experience.

GT

Probably skip

The GT trim includes premium features like advanced safety systems and a more powerful sound system. However, the price increase may not justify the added features for those primarily focused on cost-efficiency.
