Changes could be concentrated around the headlamp and grille area.

The front section of the cab of the test mule was camouflaged. This can only mean that the grille, headlights and bumper would undergo some kind of a change. Tata Motors has launched the Ace facelift with similar body changes, and is seen testing the Ace Magic (passenger van) with the updates.
