The interiors include Valcona leather seating in Classic Red, "Cognac" and "Mojave Sand" colors, accented with black piping. Black floor mats are color-trimmed to match the seats.

The company said it also will offer enhanced wood trim in "Myrtle Nutmeg" with the Classic Red interior, in "Maple Copper" with the Cognac interior and in "Poplar Saffron" in the intarsia pattern with the Mojave Sand interior. The package includes a wood and leather steering wheel and wooden shift knob.
