From the outside, the SUV is expected to resemble the Hyryder, particularly in the front fascia, but with a larger grille. The bumpers will be slightly tweaked and finished in carbon black. The side profile will feature an upright roof to accommodate a third row, increasing the overall dimensions. New 18-inch alloy wheels, thin wheel arches, and door claddings will also be included.

Inside, the SUV’s interiors will likely have similarities to the Hyryder, with subtle updates. These updates include replacing the manual handbrake with an electric parking brake on the center console, introducing new 10.25-inch displays for both the infotainment system and the digital instrument cluster, refreshing the leather seat upholstery, implementing a dual-tone cabin treatment, and adding a panoramic sunroof. Third-row AC vents are expected to be positioned beneath the quarter window, and the steering wheel from the Hyryder may be retained. The second row might feature captain seats for added comfort and convenience.
