The interior gets an overhaul with a completely new dash and center tunnel. The screen is now of the standing kind although it still isn’t very big.
Gear lever is smaller now and there is a trendy knob on the tunnel between the seats. Electronic parking brake is new as well, but the steering wheel remained exactly the same.
