The Black & White also incorporates less immediately obvious updates including: Satellite Navigation (now standard across the range), a rear end refresh with re-coloured lamp lenses, a body coloured appliqué to the tailgate and a Brunel (silver finish) tread plate located on the upper surface of the rear bumper.

There are now also clear side repeater lenses, a new 20" 15 spoke alloy wheel design for HST models - which has a Sparkle Silver painted finish and the Shadow chrome finish (as featured on the Black & White) is now available on the existing 20" 10 spoke wheel.

The exterior colour palette available to customers has been extended with the introduction of Bournville (Metallic black with a brown tint) whilst Santorini Black replaces Java Black and Galway Green replaces Tonga Green.

Interior changes see the Alpaca trim colour replaced by Almond & Nutmeg, whilst Noble plated air vent bezels and door pull handles further enhance the interior on all models. A full Nobel plated centre consol is also available in lieu of the wood veneer option for drivers specifying leather door inserts.
