Diamond Aircraft has announced the introduction of the DA40 XLT configuration to further enhance the cabin interior and comfort of its strong selling DA40 product line.

The new XLT interior improves on the previous XLS premium interior with several detail enhancements including newly molded seat patterns with integrated Diamond embossed padded headrests and improved lumbar contour in both the front and rear seats. All seats are covered with ICT (Infrared Controlled Technology) 100% genuine leather which reflects IR rays in direct sunlight and maintains 20 degrees Celsius lower surface temperature than traditional leathers.

In addition to the new seats, the following provides a brief summary of the enhanced design features:

• Front seat effective width increased by 1 inch per seat

• Trim package available in Carbon Weave or Walnut Burl, including trim wheel cover, instrument panel trim, cup holders, sill plates and side panel inlays.

• Rosen sunvisor system to reduce heat and glare (optional)

• Molded pocket added to pilot inboard side panel for smart phones and electronic devices

• Redesigned rear footwells for added rear seat comfort

• Lower seat cushions and seat back covers easily removable for cleaning or replacement

The DA40 XLT is available in interior colors of Oyster Gray or Champagne Beige with choice of Carbon Weave or Walnut Burl accents.
