Compared to the current model, the facelifted version features more streamlined and contemporary styling. The boundary-free front fascia presents a dramatic departure from the existing spindle grille design.

The extended LED headlight clusters adopt a sharper design than the current matrix arrangement.
Profile views reveal the elimination of triangular B-pillar structures from the current model, while redesigned D-pillar lower edges inject vitality into previously plain contours.
