On the inside, the car now gets a chopped-off steering wheel with a U-shaped hand grip area. It gets two circular jog dials on either side. The main touchscreen is now a 17-inch unit in a landscape orientation compared to the portrait layout of the earlier display. The rear seats get additional bolstering and a smaller display unit for the rear occupants between the front two seats.

Also included is a new gaming computer with 10 teraflops of processing power and wireless controller compatibility which allows gaming from any seat. The car also gets wireless and USB-C fast charging for every passenger and multi-device Bluetooth.
