Different trim levels can get you a bigger touch screen display, better headlamps and electronically adjustable front seats. The wheels get larger with the top-spec Portfolio trim, offering 18-inch wheels and 14-way adjustable electric front seats as well.  All models also get the Jaguar Drive Control that alters steering, throttle and gearbox response to work with varying levels of fuel efficiency, performance or driving conditions.
