Cazoo sent me the wrong Focus, should I keep it?

Shock, Cazoo didn’t know what car they were selling me. 
 

I purchased, what I thought was a Ford Focus ST-Line Edition, 1.0T Ecoboost, Oct 21-plate.

However, today I received a Ford Focus ST-Line Edition MHEV. The vehicle in the images is the same etc, but the description or title doesn’t mention it being MHEV at all (I probably could have paid more attention to the pictures myself). 
 

I’ve got 7 days to request a refund, and they’ll collect the car. Cazoo couldn’t provide me any information on the differences between a MHEV and non-MHEV focus. 
 

Shall I keep it or sent it back?

    Well, the non-MHEV is gutless, especially in a heavy Mk4.

    If you prefer your rice pudding without a skin, keep the MHEV. :wink:

    Two main differences.  First, it's got better low end grunt and sounds cool when you boot it with both turbo whistle and generator whine.

    Second, it regen brakes, which you may get used to quickly, or you may dislike.

    Oh, and you save a whole £10 on road tax!

    Aside from that, there's very little difference for MPG or servicing etc.  I suspect MHEV's will hold better value.

     

    Regarding Cazoo - I would urge you to check the car very carefully - keys, service history, condition, etc.
