The entry point looks nothing like a stripped base model. The S pairs its 12.3-inch touchscreen and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto with a 7-inch digital gauge display, cloth seating, 16-inch wheels, and air conditioning tuned for Florida.

Crucially, safety does not get cheaper with the price: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Lane Departure Warning, and Intelligent Cruise Control all come standard.

One step up unlocks the daily-life conveniences: wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a standard wireless charging pad, remote start for August afternoons, automatic climate control, and 17-inch wheels under roof rails.

The SV also anchors the options catalog, offering a Cold Weather Package with heated front seats and mirrors, a Premium Package with a panoramic moonroof, an available Intelligent Around View Monitor, and, new for 2027, the Rock Creek package on AWD versions.

Its assistance suite is the deepest in the lineup, adding Rear Automatic Braking, Blind Spot Intervention, Traffic Sign Recognition, and a standard Intelligent Around View Monitor. The available Bose Personal Plus 10-speaker system and heated steering wheel complete the premium pitch.

Its cabin and curb appeal follow suit with TailorFit-appointed seats trimmed in ballistic nylon, heated front seats, a TailorFit-wrapped heated steering wheel, amber daytime running lights, gloss black trim, 17-inch Rock Creek alloys, an HD Intelligent Around View Monitor, and a spare tire under the floor.
