The 2022 XT4 interiors would remain largely unchanged from the current model and we hope that it does change for good. The cargo space and seating comfort is top notch. However, the premiumness that you expect in this segment is missing. The dashboard is covered in faux leather trim but the lower trim panel on the doors are still found to be made from flimsy plastic stuff which looks unpleasing.The seating comfort and leg space is good across both the rows. The cargo space is also very good and thus this SUV scores high on practicality front.
The driver seat is 8-way power adjustable with 2 - way lumbar adjustments and the passenger seat is 6-way power adjustable with 2 -way lumbar support as standard.For better climate control inside the cabin, all trims will be equipped with a dual-zone automatic climate control The higher trims get more adjustment and lumbar support. You will also get support for 4.2" diagonal color Driver Information Center to display various information to the driver You also get an optional 8” display but that is reserved for higher trims. The features like ambient interior lighting, driver memory, optional driver lumbar massage, optional head up display , interior rear view dimming mirror etc are available with higher trims and elevate the driver experience to the next level.
