The leather-wrapped steering wheel is actually thick in the nine and three o'clock positions, so that proper drivers can grip the wheel easily and comfortably. Center stack controls include those for the stereo and climate control system, and they are within easy reach of the driver. Dual airbags are nicely integrated into the design, without bulky covers in the steering wheel hub or on the dashboard announcing their presence. The Ultra gets real wood accents in the door panels, and fake wood decorates a ledge that runs the width of the dash. Unfortunately, the wood tones do not match.
Passengers have separate climate controls to govern temperature.
The stereo includes a digital clock, and if you can't read the numbers it displays, then you need an eye exam. They are huge. Visibility is very good, despite thick C-pillars and rear seat headrests. The front chairs are firm yet comfortable, and our Ultra contained seat heaters that featured two heat settings. The seats warmed uniformly and quickly.
