Inside we find high quality materials, new trim and a revised steering wheel. The diesel range gets several performance improvements, the most important one being for the D4 engine.

The standard engine develops 174hp and 400Nm of torque, but a new ECU unit increases the figures to 192hp and 480Nm of torque which means that the 0-100 km/h sprint is now possible 1 second faster. A retuned suspension system with sport springs lowers the ground clearance by 30mm.

However, if you cannot afford the D4 variant, Heico Sportiv provides power upgrades for the D3 and D2 models as well.

At this moment, the tuning company provides no packages for the petrol power plants but says that they are under development.
