The first of three sketches shows the front section of the car, featuring the redesigned bonnet and a more vertical grille, as well as a new, more aggressive bumper featuring "L" -shaped details framing the large air intake. The front apron has been redesigned, while the air intake has become wider.
The second design instead sees the front light clusters as protagonists, split into two LED elements: the upper one is characterised by a thinner cut than the current model, while the lower one, which integrates the fog lights, seems to be more embedded in the bodywork.
The third sketch, finally, portrays the rear lights, also made more streamlined and characterised by the now typical "Crystal Lighting" texture of the Bohemian House.
