The standard car comes with four paint scheme options; Turquoise Green, Pearl White, Clay Beige, and Starburst Black. Meanwhile the Pro brings in three new paint schemes; Celadon Blue. Glaze Red, and Aurora Silver, with Turquoise Green, Stardust Black, and Pearl White being carried over.
Additionally, the base variant of the standard car, the Excite, comes with 17-inch steel wheels with covers. The Exclusive and Essence variants come with 18-inch diamond-cut alloy rims, while the Pro comes with 18-inch machined alloy rims with a different design.
