Interior Overview
In the spacious cabin, featuring high‑quality leather‑style seats combined with different materials, you can enjoy a luxurious journey while taking in the atmosphere of Kyoto.
6-Passenger Mode
By folding down the center seat in the third row, everyone can ride in comfort. It also allows for loading longer items.
When the rearmost seats are folded down, the cabin transforms into a spacious luggage area that can easily accommodate large suitcases. You can travel with peace of mind, even with many bags for airport transfers or sightseeing in Kyoto.
4-Passenger + Long Slide Mode
By folding the third-row seats into the floor and sliding the second-row seats back, you can create a relaxing, lounge-like space with plenty of legroom.
