More likely a non-MSport twin motor option paired with Sport range styling and 225 section tyres for range.

An xe40 MSport on 19's would likely have little range advantage over a similar M50. Maybe slightly smaller lighter motors…

Batteries are common, so unless a new generation of battery technology comes in mid run I do not expect battery changes to larger capacity. Weight and space limit this too much.
