Which trim is worth it

Convenience

Worth it

The Convenience trim offers essential features that enhance comfort and usability without a significant price increase. It's a sensible choice for those who want more than just the basics.

Sport

Worth it

The Sport trim adds features like a sport-tuned suspension and upgraded interior materials, which can improve the driving experience and comfort. If you value these enhancements, it's worth the additional cost.

Limited

Probably skip

While the Limited trim includes premium features like leather upholstery and advanced tech options, the price jump is considerable. Unless these features are a priority, the lower trims offer better value.
