Choose SX If…
Leather, dual sunroofs, and hands-free highway driving assist sound right, but the flagship price doesn’t.
Choose EX or SX Prestige Instead If…
A lower price wins you over (EX), or you’d rather have the flagship cabin with Bose audio, HUD, and available VIP Lounge Seats (SX Prestige).
