Expect the X-Line to be based on the top GT-Line and come with a very similar set of features. Highlights should be a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Android Auto/Apple Carplay, connected car tech, climate control, sunroof, ventilated front seats, powered driver seat, head-up display, a 360-degree camera, blind-view monitor, and wireless charging.

The 1.5-litre diesel should also make an appearance with a six-speed torque converter and putting out 115PS and 250 Nm.
