The cabin of the SUV also follows the same theme just like the exteriors. It gets a Blackstone Matrix Colour and the upholstery has been done in Benecke-Kaliko leather and given a contrasting shade. The faux wood on the dashboard gets replaced by a textured matte-grey panel. The same treatment has been given to the door handles and also to the door pads which are now perforated.
