The light tinted glass provides a subtle sense of privacy while protecting the interior from the sun's rays. At the rear, the LED Brakelights create a distinctive signature that is unmistakable on the road. The Dual Stainless Steel Exhaust w/Chrome Tailpipe Finisher serves as a visual reminder of the Pentastar V6's capabilities, adding a final touch of performance-inspired styling to the rear of the sedan.
