Unique to Edition 50 are striking Crystal Blue metallic paint and a 3D badge ‘50’ on the B-pillar. 16-inch ‘Coventry’ wheels come as standard, but buyers can upgrade to larger 17-inch ‘Torosa’ wheels, and rear windows get a dark tint.
Interior
Edition 50’s sports seats and badging on the steering wheel, front door sills and dashboard add to its exclusivity. This edition also gets an optional panoramic sunroof (with the Plus package), otherwise reserved for the higher-ranked variants. Two-zone automatic AC and keyless entry are also part of the Plus package.
Other equipment on board includes chrome-finished pedals, ambient lights, a black headliner, heating for front seats, rearview camera and drive modes.
