In terms of details, the front hatch is designed with a raised rib line, which has a strong sense of muscle; The headlight group adopts a semi-circular blackened treatment, and the lens and ring daytime running lights are integrated inside, which has a strong recognition; The shape of the grille is relatively flat and has a strong sense of hierarchy.
The lower bumper is equipped with a thick bumper, which has a strong three-dimensional effect, with flat fog lights integrated on both sides, and a stout scuff plate at the bottom, after all, this is a hardcore SUV.
In terms of side styling, the roof line is relatively straight, the floating roof is not absent, and the overall body feels more square, which belongs to the common design language of hard-core SUVs; The rounded waistline adopts a through-type design, which embellishes the layering of the side of the body; The wheel eyebrows and side skirts are designed with raised rib lines, which bring a strong sense of muscle; The wheels are multi-spoke shapes, and the style is quite atmospheric.
