The extended LED DRL is still retained but, the position of the lights have slightly changed. The headlamps are LED units and so are the turn indicators. The bumper looks the same as before except for the faux skid plate. It gets a minor revision and there are four LED lights in the fog lamp instead of 3 in the pre-facelift model. Coming to the side profile, the overall design of both the SUVs remain the same. The design of the alloy wheels are however different.
