The under-the-skin changes are more restrained, largely limited to a new six-speed automatic in place of the old five-speed, while the 2.4-litre diesel and six-speed manual carry over.

The visual changes elsewhere are largely limited to new tail-lamps and side sheetmetal on the tub. The doors and tailgate stampings carry over unchanged.
