The UConnect infotainment system with a 7-inch display with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay + DAB radio and TomTom satellite navigator, a 7-inch digital instrument panel, rain sensors, automatic climate control and rear parking sensors are included.

Deputy Minister of Communications in South Africa Pinky Kekana has described the prospect of DAB+ as a "game changer" in a speech to delegates at Radio Days Africa on 3 July. The Minister said that DAB+ would provide better quality radio, enable the government to broadcast critical emergency information simultaneously, and offer consumers greater content choice.

The 10.25in media display, 18in alloy wheels, keyless start, LED headlights, sports suspension and DAB radio are all welcome as standard equipment.

According to the results of the radio analysis Bavaria 2018, reach the Bavarian local radio programs on an average working day 29.2 percent of the population over 14 years in Bavaria, and thus more than 3.2 million listeners daily.

A good DAB+ receiver is distinguished by its high sensitivity of reception. The DAB+ will also become the new standard for receivers in cars. If your car radio does not support the DAB+, you can equip it with an adapter or change the receiver. If you buy a new car, make sure that it is already equipped with a DAB+ car radio.

Stefan Sutor of the BLM has said that DAB+ has enabled digital radio to overtake internet usage in Bavaria for daily reach.

According to the results of the radio analysis Bavaria 2018, 29.2% of the Bavarian populations aged 14 or over listen to local radio programmes on DAB, amounting to more than 3.2 million daily listeners. The report also found that more than 26% of Bavarians own a DAB+ device in their home.

Three radio stations in the Upper Palatinate and five stations in the Lower Bavaria regions of Germany will begin DAB+ broadcast from 3 July.

Like the SR5-grade HiLux on which these two are based, there are numerous features to help smooth over the commercial underpinnings, including a 7.0-inch touchscreen with integrated satellite navigation, DAB+ radio, Bluetooth streaming and voice commands.

New figures reported by the Bavarian State Centre for New Media (BLM) show that more than 26% of the total population (14 years and over) own a DAB+ device - an increase of about 30% from last year. The report also showed car radio ownership increased by 145% from last year.
