The model offers a spacious cabin that can allocate five passengers. The great space also comes with a decent legroom and generous headroom. As to the front seats, it has long cushions as well as an excellent support.

The automaker also makes sure that everything under the hood is placed and stored securely. The hydrogen is stored in a two aluminum composite-reinforced cylindrical tanks. The one that carries 31 gallons of hydrogen is set behind the rear seatbacks while the smaller one that takes 6 gallons sits under the rear seats.
