This digital render has been made by Kenei Luho Designs. The rendering artist has made several tweaks to the front and side profile of the hatchback. The front fascia of the car gets a regular honeycomb mesh grille, but the LED projector headlamps of the car have been tweaked a bit as they look more aggressive. It gets a redesigned front bumper as the fog lamps have been replaced by air vents and they are quite big. It also employs a lower lip spoiler, which makes the front-end of the hatchback look sportier. The regular suspension system has been replaced by sports suspension, which decreases the overall ground clearance of the car.
