At the rear, bumper, diffuser and the LED taillights are touched up for a fresher look and feel.
The top SE variant of the car gets a fully digital instrument cluster as well as a larger touchscreen infotainment system. Interior plastics has been changed to the softer touch from the previously hard one for a luxurious feel. The previous model had a rotary gear knob which is now replaced with a gear lever.
