more equipment as standard  central locking with anti-theft alarm, ESA
II electronic suspension adjustment, traction control (DTC), ABS, hill
start control and even a film antenna for the radio that is embedded
in the topcase lid.

instrumentation, heated backrest and comfortable armrests, LED auxiliary
headlights and DRLs, adaptive xenon headlights, a tire pressure monitor,
