Besides the exterior design, the vehicle will be lighter, approximately 7 pounds (3 kg). The majority of the front and rear door cards, trim elements on the side of the center console too, will have a matte carbon look on the inside. But, if the customer wants it different, they can be painted in the same color as the rest of the exterior.
