It appears they have introduced a very stripped down new trim level "Essential" at the bottom price point of $44, 999 with acid yellow as only color choice and oddly it excludes the heat pump, adaptive cruise control and battery heater. Very bizarre to exclude these in Canada ! The 2020 Preferred trim now has the premium infinity audio with 8 speakers but also with a new price of $1000 more.
These seem to be all the key option differences of the 2020 preferred over essential:
