This is the version with all the fruit when it comes to standard equipment, including 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, LED front fog lights, LED tail-lights, LED daytime running lights, interior mood lighting that pulses with the speakers, an eight-speaker Bose stereo, a 10.25-inch touchscreen media system with sat nav, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Bluetooth phone and audio streaming, wireless phone charging, a 7.0-inch driver info display, a colour head-up display, fake-leather seats, power adjustable front seats with heating and cooling, a heated steering wheel, auto wipers and auto headlights. 

It also has smart key entry and push-button start, heated/folding side mirrors, LED interior lighting, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, a reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors, six airbags, a camera-based low-speed auto emergency braking (AEB) with car and pedestrian detection, plus the higher-spec AEB with adaptive cruise control and cyclist detection, which will likely score it a five-star ANCAP rating (though it hasn’t been tested at the time of writing).

This model also gets lane keeping assist, driver attention warning, blind spot monitoring with merge intervention, rear cross-traffic alert with auto braking.

The GT Line is the only model that can be had with a no-cost two-tone paint finish, or a sunroof - but you can’t have both!
