Additionally, it will feature extra doors on both sides with square windows, step-up side plates, 19-inch alloy wheels, and a single-pane sunroof on top since it’s not a convertible like the 3-Door version. The tailgate opens towards the sides with the spare wheel-mounted, and also the rear features the same tail-lamps as the 3-door except they are LEDs.
