The RS design package adds attractive touches to the car’s interior. The red version of the package achieves this with contrasting red stitching, creating a bold and attention-grabbing effect. Additionally, the grey version of the RS design package emphasises the car’s interior’s evident elegance and progressive design. This is achieved by combining high-quality materials and contrasting steel grey stitching, creating a modern and sophisticated appearance. Overall, both versions of the RS design package can add unique and appealing touches to the car’s interior.
