The bumpers of the SUV are updated, the tailgate has been redesigned and looks similar to the Venue. Additionally, the SUV gets a split unit vertical LED headlamp design and cube like detailing, and updated front grille. The spy shots while revealed that the 17-inch alloy wheel design is the same as the outgoing version, however, there has been other test mules spotted with larger 18-inch alloy wheels.
