Understanding the interior is the key to appreciating the Aztek. With front bucket seats divided by a floor console, second-row bench split in half and a cargo compartment in the rear, the layout may be the only conventional aspect of the Aztek's interior plan. All of the interior elements themselves relate to functional use for recreation and the storage of lifestyle and sports equipment.Bold graphic designs spread across the cloth seat fabrics and door panels. Soft-to-touch molded composite polymers are used to line dashboard, doors and rear panels. Grab handles appear everywhere, on doors, dash and pillars. Four power outlets are provided, at the instrument panel (one), rear of the floor console (two), and rear quarter panel (one).
In the cockpit, dashboard bumps house a recessed instrument cluster containing large analog gauges as well as four round air vents that have center joystick-style shutoff controls. Below the pair of center vents is a stack of audio and climate controls that features large easy-to-grip rotary dials.
Front bucket seats feel firm and have side bolsters with reclining backs and rear storage pockets. The standard second-row bench may be removed and the seatback, divided into two equal segments, folds down flat to expand cargo space in back. Two removable captain's chairs may be substituted for the rear bench with GT trim.
