The headlight clusters are wrapped in chrome trim, with circular smoked interiors and projector lenses, providing excellent lighting effects. The bumper has fog lamps on the sides and a grille with a concave-convex design in the center, giving it a strong sense of motion.
Next, looking at the side of the new car, the body shape is straight and square, a mainstream design in today's market. The straight roof combined with the black luggage rack design reflects the overall off-road atmosphere and muscular feel. The door section has a prominent flaring waistline that runs through the body, with a concave lower section and prominent wheel arches, giving a good sense of thickness and three-dimensionality.

The rear part still uses the side-opening design commonly used by tough off-road SUVs, with a full-size spare tire hanging in the center of the vertical tailgate, available with a bare tire or a spare tire cover design, allowing customers to choose according to different needs. The taillights on both sides are designed in a vertical shape, with irregular round three-dimensional taillights that have a good recognition after lighting, and the bumper bottom is also a thick and full shape, with multiple lines adding a sense of hierarchy.
Entering the car, the new car's flat console is very thick, and the vertical air vents on both sides and multiple straight lines make it look very tough.
