The other option is the interior pack that adds sport seats with the R-Line logo, a multifunction steering wheel with aluminum accents, black headliner and stainless steel pedals. The Interior Packs costs €840 or with leather upholstery the price jumps to €2,120.

The rear spoiler and black headliner are available seperately for €150 and €180 respectively.
