The rear styling incorporates a distinctive bootlid crease reminiscent of the Alfa Romeo Junior, complemented by a prominent roof spoiler. While the LED taillights remain concealed under camouflage, they're expected to feature a modern, sleek design.

Powertrain options will likely include mild hybrid petrol and full hybrid units, similar to the current generation. The decision to maintain combustion engines aligns with the recent UK ZEV mandate adjustments, allowing hybrid vehicle sales until 2035.
