This allows users to \u2018mirror\u2019 apps on their smartphone and stream both music – and navigation services from apps such as Spotify, Apple Music and Waze, to the vehicle\u2019s audio screen.<\/p>\n

In addition, on-board satellite navigation is included as standard. The system also offers Bluetooth telephony and USB interface \u2013 all accessible from the steering-mounted switchgear.<\/p>\n

The model retains its 2.0 litre D-4S Boxer engine delivering 147 kW @ 7000 rpm and 205 Nm at 6400 \u2013 6600 rpm.<\/p>\n
