That sporty feel continues on the inside too—the trim’s interior features a flat-bottom steering wheel with paddle shifters, which has available heating. The cabin’s sleek and easy-to-use controls have lux finishes, and a panoramic sunroof floods it with natural light, making it feel larger and more open.
All trim levels including the GT feature an acoustic laminated front windshield and front door glass as standard—this brings the road noise and wind level down to a manageable level. The door panels are highlighted with wood and silver trim that allows its gloss black accents to pop. A soft-touch armrest and easily-controlled air conditioning via physical dials lends itself to the tactical experience of the GT and keeps you comfortable as you go. A wide gear shifter and synthetic leather material are featured on most K5 trims, as is a manual tilt steering wheel.
