Additional comfort amenities include a zero-gravity “Queen’s Seat” for the front passenger and a smart temperature-controlled refrigerator. Underpinning the M817 is the upgraded Panshi Chassis 2.0, featuring segment-exclusive dual-chamber air suspension and CDC continuous damping control shock absorbers.
