The side profile accentuates a crossover-inspired design aesthetics, with sharp lines and high-tech details that create a sense of design and aerodynamics. A swept-back windshield provides dynamism and purpose, while the bold rear haunches add volume through the character line along the bottom of the doors to the rear wheel arches, visually elongating the profile of the car. Its sloping rear C-pillar was designed with the ultimate realization of aerodynamic performance, which integrates with the black glossy inserts that visually widen the window glass. The prominent roof spoilers channel the air downwards towards a raised lower spoiler, which sits on the car’s unique rear light cluster.
