The engine is unchanged, putting out 228kW of power in this front-wheel-drive hot hatchback. It felt like there was little not to love – except maybe for the looks.Ģ021 brings a few updates to the 10 th gen car tweaked suspension, some new body bits, enhanced engine noise, and a new performance app, among other things.
