This provides a chilled compartment if air conditioning is specified. Storage space is pretty good with a large lockable glovebox in front of the passenger. The dashboard is big and quite imposing, and the gearstick is housed in a large pod which projects from its centre, effectively ruling out any cross-cab movement. A single passenger seat is standard in the UK. Central locking, electric windows and door mirrors are standard features and the driver's seat is height adjustable.
