The ample cargo space allows for luggage, gear, golf clubs, and more. The climate control feature keeps the cabin comfortable at all times. The deep center console has plenty of space to store small items. The ample leg and headroom allow occupants to stretch out comfortably, whether in morning traffic or traveling for a longer excursion around Manhattan Beach.

The technology features in the 500h rivals all others in its class. Get the standard voice and touch-activated 9.8-inch infotainment screen; the 14.0-inch screen is optional. The Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both standards. You can download your cell phone features like navigation, music, news, weather, etc. The controls are easy to operate and intuitive. You can also enjoy Wi-Fi hotspots supporting up to ten different profiles, the heads-up display that puts real-time traffic information on the screen, and the optional three-month Sirius XM trial with over 200 channel choices. You can also use the remote keyless entry to control locks, climate features, engine shut on/off, etc. The multi-speaker Mark Levinson stereo system is one of the best in the industry.
