On sale in August and priced from around £23,000, the diesel sees an increase of 14hp to 184hp, while the petrol is up from 200hp to 220hp.
The car is fitted with a six-speed manual gearbox, and the diesel manages 0-62mph in 8.1 seconds with a top speed of 144mph.
The petrol is capable of 0-62mph in 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 154mph.
