Restyling has not affected the rear of the car, and the front is now made in the spirit of the Renault Rafale crossover. An updated media system with a 10.4-inch diagonal screen instead of 10.25 inches previously appeared in the cabin. The larger display led to a revision of the climate control system. Interestingly, materials made from recycled materials and renewable resources are now used in the interior and seat trim. For example, hemp is used.

This unit is paired with a manual transmission. In more powerful versions — 140 or 160 hp — 1.3-liter turbo engine, working in conjunction with either a manual transmission or a «robot».
