On the outside, the EV now showcases a redesigned front bumper with a set of integrated air curtains that adds to the car's aerodynamic profile. And one can notice, the designers have dropped the fog lamps. Another noticeable change over the previous-gen model is the replacement of grey exterior bits by a high-gloss black finish. It can be seen on the LED headlights, tailgate handles, and other places. The striking element, however, is the Electric’s signature neon yellow hue that fills up the new S badge.
