• Wireless Apple CarPlay and wired Android Auto smartphone connectivity
• Six-speaker audio system

Venture+
The front-wheel-drive-only Venture+ has the extended-range battery and a more powerful motor (238 hp, 221 lb-ft). This is the range leader in the lineup, getting an estimated 304 miles on a charge.

These include the synthetic leather upholstery (cloth instead), the power-sliding center console, the power-adjustable and heated seats, the heated steering wheel and the head-up display.
