Externally, the units are finished in unpainted metal with thin yellow and red waistline stripes.[2]

Interior

Internally, the cars feature flip-over reversible seating arranged 2+1 abreast. Toilets in both types of train are wheelchair-accessible, and the step between the passenger compartment and station platform has been eliminated.[4]
