All wheel drive is an extra cost option for all trim levels.

For extra outlay, the creatively-named “Luxury” trim level adds a full color head up display, sunroof, 22 inch wheels, a driver awareness package with lane departure and other idiot-light and control mitigation features, power release fold and tumble second row seats, and Intelli Beam headlights. For even more spendy examples, the following are included: adaptive cruise control, front and rear automatic braking, a 9-inch ceiling-mounted rear entertainment screen, illuminated exterior door handles, and automatic collision preparation, whatever that is.

For those interested, the colors are also available, they are white, dark purple, black, nearly black but more grey like, actually grey/silver, and red.
