They get horizontal LED strips in place of S-shaped ones. A new wedge shape tail lamp cluster is the most prominent change at the back. Changes to the inside include leather trim on the dashboard, silver trim on more elements and new tan leather/leatherette upholstery.

According to a report, the power and torque output of the 2.2 L mHawk diesel engine will go up to 155 hp and 360 Nm of torque respectively. The 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic transmission options are likely to be carried forward without any changes.
