When it comes to design, it retains elements from its older version but incorporates many new design elements up close. At the front, it features sharp-looking headlamps with projector setup, including inbuilt LED daytime running lamps. Between the two headlamps, there’s a dark chrome finish with a honeycomb pattern black grille. The company logo is now placed above the grille and below the bonnet.
There are several changes made to the front bumper, and the front fog lamps get a separate housing, offering a clearer view than before. Except for the side profile, where there are no changes except for the 16-inch alloy wheels. The rear taillights have been updated; now they are smaller and sportier. The tailgate receives hybrid badging.
