Inside, the Kuro edition is equipped with a gloss black instrument panel, black interior accents and door trim inserts. It includes an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system, automatic climate control, a six-speaker sound system and cruise control. Additional features comprise a 360-degree camera, a centre console armrest with rear AC vents, wider IRVM, floor mats and a wireless smartphone charger.

The unit delivers 160 N.m of torque with the five-speed manual gearbox or a reduced 152 N.m with the optional CVT.
