The X “VS SA III” realizes a greater feeling of luxury through the addition of the Black Interior Pack—which is normally a manufacturer’s option—high-qualitycenter cluster and door arm rests, three large-scale self-illuminating meters, as well as LED headlights and unique aluminum wheels.
The Custom X “Top Edition VS SA III” and Custom RS “Top Edition VS SA III” come specially equipped with front grille LED lighting and unique aluminum wheels*3, which combine to create an even more impressive exterior.
Finally, a new Laser Blue Crystal Shine body color is available for each of the three VS Series models*4.
