If they are outside their price range, smaller models are now more attractive than ever before thanks to an extended list of standard equipment. Whether you’re interested in a base model, T, S, or the aforementioned GTS 4.0, they all come with dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, auto-dimming mirrors, and automatic windshield wipers. For their money’s worth, the Zuffenhausen boys and girls will also include the Apple CarPlay integration and bi-xenon adaptive headlights, which come in black for the GTS 4.0 model.
