A new addition is the 360-degree camera, paired with front parking sensors. The lower grille design has also changed, moving away from the older pattern. At the back, the attractive connecting taillamps give the SUV a unique look. Other exterior details include roof rails with a silver finish and a shark fin antenna. The top model smartly hides the rear wiper under the spoiler.
