| Starting MSRP | $35,971 | $38,618 | $40,173 | $43,089 |
Lowest starting MSRP: Big Bend at $35,971
Moving up to the Heritage trim, priced at $38,618, you get a fresh take on classic design with retro exterior touches like the Oxford White-painted roof and distinctive heritage script decals. Heritage keeps the same 1.5L I3 engine and fuel efficiency as Big Bend but adds plaid cloth seating and available options such as a power moonroof and heated seats that can make your drives around Kernersville or Winston-Salem more comfortable.
The Outer Banks trim, at $40,173, focuses on premium comfort and smart technology. Standard heated front seats and a heated premium-wrapped steering wheel bring warmth on cooler mornings, while the 18-inch wheels add a sleek look suited for urban and outdoor settings. This trim also offers a tech upgrade package featuring a 360-degree camera with trail view and connected navigation, helping you confidently explore Burlington's scenic trails or busy streets.

Each trim seats five passengers comfortably and shares overall dimensions of 173.1 inches in length, 76.3 inches in width, and 70.4 inches in height, offering the space you need for family and gear. Choosing between trims comes down to how much you value added style, tech conveniences, and off-road toughness, with prices stepping up alongside those features.
