Inside, the seats, instruments and all appointments have been redesigned to improve function and comfort, and the cabin contains new sound-abatement measures to stifle noise.

New form-fitting front bucket seats feel substantial and supportive. Packed with high-density foam, they feature swoopy indentations and firm side bolsters. These seats move in multiple ways to conform for leg length, seat height, lumbar back, seatback tilt and headrest position. Also, the driver's seat on GS and GL editions contains a right-side armrest that folds up and out of the way when not needed.

Three-point seatbelts adjust for shoulder height at pillar-mounted anchors on each side, as front door panels wiggle in wavy forms and include an integrated armrest and a generous map pocket located low near the floor.

The instrument panel orients around the driver with large gauges set immediately forward of the steering wheel. Analog gauges with white markings and red needle pointers over a dark gray field include a speedometer and tachometer, with flanking dials indicating fuel level and engine temperature.

Air vents stand at each side of the instrument panel, and at the middle of the dash a stack of controls for audio and climate systems provides large and easy-to-use rotary control knobs. Below the passenger-size airbag, an enormous glove box drops down in a bin-like compartment that resembles a junior ice chest big enough to hold a couple of six-packs of soda cans.

On the back bench are indented spaces for outboard riders and three-point seat belts plus a two-point belt on the center hump. The seatback splits in sections and folds to increase cargo capacity for the flat-floored trunk.
