SR Features

The SR trim adds a lot of great features, including Alcantara leather upholstery, a dual-panel panoramic moonroof, an 11-speaker Bose stereo system, a surround-view parking camera system, front and rear parking sensors, a heated steering wheel, paddle shifters, a sport-tuned suspension, LED fog lights, and two rear-row USB ports.

Platinum Features

The Platinum trim costs under $100 more than the SV trim and adds only two features: rain-sensing automatic wipers and a power rear-window sunshade. A trim-exclusive 40th Anniversary Edition appearance package is available, though, which adds red leather upholstery with 40th Anniversary stitching, 40th Anniversary badging, and black and gray exterior accents.
