Kommandokonsollen er fullstendig berøringsskjermbasert, og et talestyringssystem samt seteoppvarming er også tilgjengelig. Et panoramaglasstak slipper dagslys inn i salongen. En glideplattform og en elektrisk trappegangvei beveger seg vertikalt og gir tilgang til vannet og bryggen. Akterseterne kan gjøres om til en solseng.
