The GR Sport sits at the top of the range and it comes with LED Daytime Running Lights and sequential turn signals, a unique aero kit, adaptive headlamps and so on. The 1.2-litre mill is offered with 16-inch dual-tone silver wheels, and the 1.0-litre turbo gets 17-inchers and is done up in black colour giving a sporty stance.
As standard, the Japanese manufacturer offers an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, seven-inch TFT MID and push-button start while a nine-inch central display is an option.
