The crew compartment consists of an enclosed centrally located cabin fitted with clear windows and containing two front seats and four rear seats – two additional passengers can be accommodated on the rear seats though such arrangements are cramped. The vehicle has basic environmental protection (the hull is weatherproof but is not sealed), and is fitted with interior lights. The driver's position is fitted with basic mechanical controls. A console provides data such as engine temperature and velocity.
A spacious luggage trunk is located at the rear of the vehicle.
- Cargo Storage: 1.2m³.
- Maximum Load: 1,500 kg (including passengers) before performance is dramatically impaired.
