Yet, there are plentiful new details like the new grille, lower air intake and new LED headlamps, up front. Along the sides, one can see 23-inch wheels, blacked pillars, flush door handles, a strong character line and a gently falling roofline.

While the front overhang is short, the rear overhang is long. The tailgate is split and the new tail lamps are vertical. The black panel housing the model name has the indicators.
