Headlights

Ratings are given for 2 different headlight variations available for this vehicle.

Trim level(s) LX trim Sport trim EX trim EX-L trim
Low-beam headlight type	LED reflector
High-beam headlight type	Halogen reflector
Curve-adaptive?	No
Automatically switches between low beams and high beams (high-beam assist)?	Yes
Overall rating	A
Distance at which headlights provide at least 5 lux illumination:
Low beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on both sides of the road. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve and fair on the sharp right and both left curves. The low beams created some glare.
High beams On the straightaway, visibility was good on the right side of the road and fair on the left side. On curves, visibility was good on the gradual right curve and fair on the sharp right and both left curves. High-beam assist compensates for some limitations of this vehicle's low beams on the straightaway, on both left curves and on both right curves.
