Buttons Return to Replace Touch Controls

One of the most notable updates for 2026 is the return of physical buttons on the steering wheel, replacing the touch-sensitive panels from the 2025 model. This change caters to driver feedback for more tactile, safer controls.

Other minor updates include a revised option pack structure and small pricing adjustments for select add-ons, improving value across the range.
