Generation and equipment description ↗

Split backrest 60:40: Check that the sections fold separately and which passenger seats remain usable when carrying long items.
MacPherson front suspension: For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
