To commence with, the front fascia is significantly refreshed. Specifically, the rectangular theme covering the outgoing model’s face has disappeared to make room for a new more dynamic one which is decked with a wider 3-slat grille bordered by larger headlights with C-shaped LED daytime running lights as well as more character lines in the bumper. Plus, the hood is also given more defined lines.
