In the chart above, we focused mainly on design features, as that is a major difference between the XLT and Limited. The Limited trim level also offers other upgrades, such as extra technology features for entertainment and convenience. A few examples of these technology features include a 360-degree view camera with split view and a washer, a wireless charging pad, and a universal garage-door opener.
The next step up is the ST trim level, which offers a unique sport-tuned independent front and rear suspension and is the only trim level to do so. This sport-tuned suspension helps give you a lively driving experience, more in tune with your adventurous side. As a further nod to the sporty feel of the ST, the designers gave it a sport style heated steering wheel, accompanied with paddle shifters and an ST logo. The ST also gets the upgrade to a B&O Sound System by Band and Olufsen with 12 speakers.
The Platinum, which is the highest trim level, also has this upgraded sound system but instead of 12 speakers it has 14, giving you the most surround-sound experience you’ve ever had in a vehicle. The Platinum is all about luxury touches and as such it features the only seating surfaces with Tri-Diamond Perforated Leather and Accent Stitching.
