Changes to the exterior include new full LED headlamps and revised daytime running lights on the front, new rear LED lighting signature, new 19-inch wheels with diamond cut finishing and red accent, plus the new Flame Red colour as seen here.
Inside, the 7-inch touchscreen infotainment display is now in horizontal orientation, compared to vertical from before. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto connectivity is supported. The centre console is also revised, with an additional knob.
As before, the 4-wheel steering system is present to enhance agility as well as high speed stability. It features a Torsen mechanical Limited Slip Differential for improved traction in corners. Each absorber features clever hydraulic compression stops to improve everyday drivability.
