The screen’s response to touches is good without quite fitting the ‘instantaneous’ description. Owners also get an Apps button directing khổng lồ a screen where they can customise their mirrored applications.

A Harman Kardon audio system continues as an exclusive for the 3.6R, which helps to justify the $6500 gap khổng lồ the 2.5i Premium along with the bigger engine and a third driving mode (Thể Thao Sharp).
