Other changes included a five-speed automatic transmission with a gate-type shift, revised steering and, for the suspension, stiffer springs and dampers for improved handling.

Inside, there was additional woodgrain trim for the centre console, a gunmetal grey fascia for the audio system, reading lights and micron filtration for the climate control air conditioning.
