Instead the entry-point car gets a basic half-size dash top-mounted audio unit, which, along with being easy enough to use and familiarise yourself with, is arguably less distracting for drivers than the full-tilt MZD system. That said, we did find syncing a phone via the voice commands a clunky and tedious process.
Adding to the higher-end ambience are gloss black air vent surrounds, faux carbonfibre inserts, bright silver trim accents and the very comfortable and supportive coth seats. Reminiscent of the inside of a wetsuit to the touch, the black and blue pews are subtly bucketed and feature quality bolstering.
With the rake and reach adjustable multi-function steering wheel in front of you, you can appreciate the nicely rubberised material used for key touch points such as the gear selector and handbrake, and door-mounted armrests and hand grips.
There’s also driver and front passenger seat belt height adjusters, a driver’s footrest and a decent glove box. Helpfully too, the steering wheel-mounted audio, phone and vehicle information buttons all light up at night, as does the driver’s power window switch â€" unfortunately the other power window switches do not, nor do the power mirror controls.
Though space up front is ample, with plenty of head and shoulder room, the same can’t be said of the second row.
