The battery is large enough to cover short trips on pure electric power, while the petrol engine allows you to venture beyond town and city life without worrying about plugging in.
This adds adaptive LED headlights, a sunroof, a heated steering wheel, a 12-speaker Bose stereo, a 360-degree parking camera and some extra safety kit.
