The cabin is a classy place for eight, featuring many modern conveniences like a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, adaptive cruise control, park assist, and optional rear-seat DVD entertainment. A 5.7-liter V-8 makes 383 hp and is mated to a silky eight-speed automatic transmission; full-time four-wheel drive is standard.
