The car also comes fitted with a revised dashboard. Other features include new-design alloy wheels, daytime running lights and new LED headlamps. The petrol model offers a touchscreen infotainment system with a Mirrorlink facility and this will also be available as an option on the diesel car. The top petrol trim features seven airbags along with stability control and hill start assist. Five airbags and ABS are offered as standard on other petrol trims.
