The SE sits in the middle of the pack and is our choice if you're after the perfect balance of luxury and affordability. It comes with the same FWD/AWD options. The SE is packed with a host of luxury and tech features not available on the base model. For starters, the SE gets standard 18-inch machined alloy wheels with all-season tires, heated side mirrors, silver roof rails, an eight-way power driver’s seat with lumbar support, heated front seats, CloudTex leatherette upholstery, a heated steering wheel, a leather-trimmed shift knob, keyless access with push-button start, wireless smartphone integration, and another two speakers for the infotainment system. Now that the entire range has been enhanced with driver-assistance features, the SE has been further upgraded with the full IQ.Drive driver-assistance suite that includes forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, and lane assist. It also has rain-sensing windshield wipers and automatic high beams.
