The rear features transparent light housings and a revised diffuser.

Five body colours are offered, including the new Urban Grey, with two-tone options remaining. Wheel designs grow to 18-inches and 19-inches on higher trim levels.

Inside, the focus is on a more premium ambience and connected technology. A 10,4-inch vertical touchscreen running the OpenR Link system is now standard across the range, offering smartphone-like integration. The cabin retains its practical hallmark: a sliding rear bench that adjusts by up to 16 cm to prioritise either passenger legroom or boot space, the latter expanding to a maximum of 616 litres. Sustainable materials feature more prominently, with certain upholstery incorporating 26% recycled fabrics.

A new Esprit Alpine trim joins the line-up, inspired by Renault's performance division. It adds specific styling cues, 19-inch alloy wheels, and interior accents such as blue top-stitching and aluminium pedals.
