The front end features the three-dimensional signature star map lighting, while the rear features pushed-back D-pillars.

Among the glossy options are snow white pearl, clear white, starry night black, magma red, ivory silver, frost blue, iceberg green, tide blue, and shale grey. The tenth color variation presents a matte rendition of ivory silver.
