The vehicle received a restyling for 1995 when it saw minor visual alterations and a myriad of on-board electronics and safety features additions.
It was many of these upgrades that were later copied or supplied to other car manufacturers. Such was the case with the ESP (Electronic Stability Program), introduced in 1996. Following this fortunate and very profitable discovery, a Brake Assist system was introduced the same year, complemented by the arrival of side airbags and seat occupancy sensors. Safety and practicality were enhanced by the replacement of rear-parking markers with a Parkatronic sonar-like obstacle detection system.
