The rear passengers are evidently the winners with this conversion. The doors are longer and therefore ingress and egress are vastly ameliorated. Separate multi-way power rear seats can be ordered to further improve the already stately levels of comfort and opulence.

Numerous other features can be added such as a folding table, additional wood and leather trim, a refrigerator and a rear seat entertainment system with two 10.2-inch screens.
