The entry-level SE will cost from £23,995 - £3605 less than the current base model, although equipment levels differ.

The SE has leather trimmed seats, stability control, anti-lock brakes, front, rear and side-curtain airbags, heated front seats, dual zone climate control, ambient lighting, front fog lamps and front and rear parking sensors as standard. Other kit includes Xenon headlamps, rain-sensing wipers and 18-inch alloys.

SR trim starts from £24,995 and adds auto-dimming rear view mirrors, an upgraded sound system, sat-nav and Bluetooth.

SRT costs from £27,995 and adds body coloured mirrors and door handles, chrome detailing, wheel arch extensions, 20-inch alloys, sports seats and carbonfibre interior details.

The SRT-8 costs from £41,795 - £1200 more than late 2009 figures, with the lower VAT rate - and has uprated brakes, a powered sunroof, plus tuned steering and suspension.
