Every feature available on minivan is available except nav system (I put in what I wanted via aftermarket; Hyundai did me a favor on this), and stow and go seats (which are not as comfortable and which I do not anticipate I would have used)

We love the "stow and go" rear seats, the power sliding doors, the rear entertainment system, the dual and front/rear climate control, all seats can be reclined, middle row windows go down...too many pluses to list.
