Moving on to the specifics, the front gets a massive V-motion grille unit partially blending with the C-shaped LED headlamps with quad projectors and vertical fog lamps. Also, part of the package is faux front fender vents and upturned centre air intake.

The side profile benefits from several chrome elements (door handles, ORVMs, side steps, and roof rails). For the 2021 model year, the SUV is available with more than one wheel options- 17- and 18-inch alloy options.

Likewise, the rear also features several upgrades including reshaped tail lights, arched-shaped bold strip bulging over the taillights and company’s badge. The bumper sports wide reflectors adding to the car’s rugged profile.
