On the design front, don’t expect any major changes to the exterior of the Aircross X, with the design remaining unchanged, including the alloy wheels. The bulk of the updates are inside the cabin with the Aircross X to also get the new, more squared-out dashboard design, replete with a dual-tone finish, new air con vent designs and repositioned air-con controls. The touchscreen is also set to now be a freestanding unit, with the instrument binacle also replaced by a freestanding screen. Also, expect new upholstery colours to be made available. As before, the Aircross is expected to continue to be offered in 5-seat and 5+2-seat configurations.
