The next model up, the SE L, comes with a larger alloy wheels, satnav, keyless entry, heated front seats, start-stop as well as front rear parking sensors, rearview camera and a colour multifunction trip computer.
The Edition trim is the range topper and owners can enjoy panoramic sunroof, leather upholstery and metallic paint.
