All grades of the RVR, including the “M,” use LED lights such as LED headlights, LED daylights, LED fog lights, and LED rear combination lamps . LED lights instantly reach the maximum amount of light when turned on, so in addition to improving nighttime visibility, they also have the advantage of improving actual fuel efficiency because they use less power than halogen or xenon. It is also a nice point that it adds advancedness to the look and creates a sophisticated atmosphere.
Minimum comfort equipment
The difference between the “M” and the upper grade is mainly comfort equipment. The keyless operation system that allows you to unlock and lock the doors without key operation, which has become mainstream in recent years, and the engine switch that allows you to start the engine with a switch operation are not used.
