The hatchback continues to be offered with steering-mounted audio controls and height-adjustable driver's seat on select variants. With that being said, the list of its new features comprises remote keyless entry with foldable key, addition of driver side airbag to the LT variant, body-coloured door handles, silver interior highlights on lower trims and two new colours, namely Pull Me over Red and Satin Steel Grey.
