- It has designs that change at the front.
- Tail lights are customizable with different designs, including the Union Jack flag.
- It starts at 17-inch alloy wheels, but this version has 20-inch alloy wheels.

- This is the JCW version, the top of the range sporty version that will cost around £45,000.
- The interior is distinctive, with a fabric effect dash and toggle switches.
- There are many different drive experiences displayed on a round infotainment display.

- The reviewer recommends shortlisting the non-JCW versions, which start under £30,000.
- A built-in interior camera and exterior dashcam recording system are available.
