The semi-aniline leather seats offer enhanced comfort with thicker padding and adjustable backrests. Other notable features include a panoramic sunroof, a floating center console, and a 15W wireless smartphone charger with air-cooling technology. The cabin is adorned with wood and aluminum trim, as well as a crystal-like knob featuring a 3D Cadillac shield motif.
