The interior comes with a new multi-function steering wheel, armrest with storage compartment as well as rear vents for the air conditioning and driver seat height adjustment. Other notable features include revised instrument cluster, USB, Start/Stop button and Bluetooth connectivity.

The engine range includes a 1.2 liter Kappa petrol with 83HP (61 kW) and a 1.4 liter CRDi with 90HP (66 kW). Both are connected to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
