Priced from R439 900, the newcomer can be had with the choice of two trim grades: Comfort and Elite. As standard, both models ship with LED headlamps, replete with daytime-running lights, a “sporty” rear spoiler, and model-specific 17-inch alloy wheels.

The latter setup incorporates Apple CarPlay/Android Auto screen mirroring and Bluetooth connectivity, and relays music through a four-speaker audio system in the Comfort model and a six-speaker unit in the Elite variant. Wireless smartphone charging and dual-zone climate control, replete with rear air vents, are also included in Comfort and Elite level of specification as standard.
