The cloth in the S model appears to be of higher than average quality. Cordura-like material covers the door panels. A cup holder strap on the door is clever; the fancy cup holders on top of the dash are not ideally located, however. (Brits and Europeans just do not understand or respect America's interest in cup holders and continue to struggle with them.) Window switches on the center console are placed far enough to the rear as to make them awkward.

The steering wheel feels nice, and trimmed in leather on SE and HSE models. The dash has a utilitarian appearance, noticeable among today's more organic designs. Dual glove boxes add storage space up front.

The rear seat is roomy and comfortable for two people. Getting in and out of the back seats is a bit of a squeeze past the inner rear fender. Pressing buttons on the rear center console lowers the rear windows. The rear seatbacks fold down and the seat flips up to increase cargo capacity from 19.3 to 46.6 cubic feet. That's a decent amount of cargo space, but considerably less than what's found in the Toyota RAV4 or Jeep Liberty.
