A short teaser video provides some insights into the updates to the SUV, with the most notable being a revamped grille with a wide-opening mesh design with thick vertical chrome inserts. The split headlamp design has been retained, though the bumper looks to get chunkier cladding lower down, which could add some muscle to the overall design.
