According to a render by SRK Designs, this SUV showcases a slightly modified design, possibly indicative of a facelift. The front fascia highlights a fresh hexagonal-pattern grille with a connecting chrome strip running through the LED DRLs unit. Beneath the DRLs, you’ll find a tri-cube LED headlamp setup along with faux skid plates integrated into the bumpers. The side profile appears elongated to accommodate a third-row seating option for two additional passengers, complemented by new 18-inch alloy wheels.
Moving to the rear, expect connected taillamps, a carbon finish for the rear bumpers, and a more prominent design for the tailgate. Inside, the cabin design may resemble that of the Hyryder, albeit with potential upgrades such as a new free-standing 10.25-inch infotainment system and a fully digital instrument cluster. The second row is likely to offer captain seats for 6-seater trims and bench seats for 7-seater configurations.
