Both trims include dual-zone climate control, heated front seats, and Rough Terrain Mode for enhanced off-road capability.

Buyers can choose from a range of colors, with Splash White as the standard, no-cost option. Premium finishes like Mercury Silver Metallic, Obsidian Grey MICA, Onyx Black MICA, and Biarritz Blue Metallic are available for an additional £600 (ex. VAT). The eV-Cross offers an exclusive Dolomite White Pearl finish, enhancing its premium appeal. These colors, paired with EV-specific blue accents and D-Max EV badging, give the vehicle a distinctive and modern aesthetic.
