The Sportz variant is now the most value for money variant and the changes of this updated trim can now be explained in this walkaround video by Drive Expo.

The major change is on the inside as it now receives cruise control and automatic climate control. Other features like an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear AC vents, fully digital instrument cluster and steering mounted controls are retained as before. It is worth noting that the 1.0L Sportz variant is not equipped with the new features (auto AC and cruise control) and they're only offered on the Sportz 1.2L petrol and 1.5L diesel.
