How to spot one

Look for

  • A black band wraps from the front doors around the nose, framing slim headlights and a white light bar.10
  • A red light bar spans the rear inside a sharply sculpted recess.10
  • Short overhangs, a descending rear roofline and muscular rear haunches shape the profile.10

Year by year

  1. 2026 model year (China)

    The facelift adds bumper-corner air ducts and teal assistance lights; the rear plate moves from the bumper to the tailgate.2

  2. 2027 (Europe, planned)

    Look for corner inlets in the new front bumper, a tailgate-mounted rear plate and more body color on the rear bumper.89

  3. 2027 (Europe, planned)

    The European facelift omits China's surrounding chrome trim and continues without the customizable Stargate light curtain.89

  4. 2027 (Europe, planned)

    Glacier Silver and Mystic Lilac join the paint choices, alongside new 21-inch alloy-wheel designs.9

  5. 2027 (China, announced)

    The announced update keeps the existing exterior shape but promises additional exterior and interior colors.6
