There will also be a 1.5 litre diesel that claims to return an impressive 74.3 mpg while producing 89 bhp and emitting just 99 g/km.
There will be two trim levels – Alternative & Signature, both of which will come equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Emergency Brake Assist (EBA), four airbags, daytime running lights, a 60/40 split folding rear seat, electric front windows, radio with CD, MP3 & USB connectivity as well as bluetooth all as standard.
