Further to that the new model also boasts Bluetooth, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift knob, rear centre-seat armrest, i-Stop shutting of the engine when the vehicle is stationary), an 8 inch display screen, Android Auto and Apple Car Play as well as a commander dial for selecting functions on the display.
The doors also lock once the vehicle is in motion on all the models now.
The exterior stays the same and under the bonnet it is business as usual with the well-known 2.0-litre SKYACTIV-G engine, producing 115kW and 206Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
On the safety side Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), cruise control, and Hill Launch Assist (HLA) is included.
