The Convenience's interior seats up to eight and is equipped to a highly comfortable standard, with features including heated front seats, a seat belt reminder for rows two and three, and tri-zone climate control. A 6.5" touchscreen powers the infotainment section, complete with smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while multiple USB ports are located around the cabin for plentiful charging options.

The standard safety features are also highly specified, and include traffic jam assist, lane centring assist, forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, and steering-responsive LED headlights.

And lastly, as well as seating up to eight in comfort, the large cabin offers an impressive amount of cargo space, with a maximum of 2,449L available with the rear seats folded down.

The Touring trim adds the option of second-row captain's chairs for increased second-row comfort, while also substantially upgrading the amount of technology offered as standard. The infotainment touchscreen size is increased to a generous 8", with the software also giving access to the Subaru StarLink connected services system.
