The headlamps and alloys remain the same. At the rear, there is a new connecting light bar. There is also a new colour.
The interior, meanwhile, gets new upholstery with soft-touch materials and additional features such as a 360-degree camera, electric handbrake, dual powered seats and more. The steering wheel design and semi-digital dials remain the same.
The space in the rear seats remains unchanged, while there is a new feature of rear ventilated seats.
