Up front, changes include a new trapezoidal grille, smaller lower grille, new design bumper, reshaped headlamps, vertical fog lamps and new design skid plate. The rear-end changes include new design tail lamps and boot-lid. Inside, the instrument panel has been revised and reorganised for a new look, the steering wheel and air-conditioning controls have lesser buttons and have been made more intuitive and easy to navigate, and there's a new electronic parking brake as well as a new dock lock indicator.
