The front end of the prototype is camouflaged with black tape everywhere. However, it is equipped with an expanded air intake than the current model, and you can see the active aero vents arranged vertically inside. In the center of the bumper where the LED daytime running lights have been eliminated, it can be seen that the radar system is being improved.

The circular driving lamps in the corners are clearly not production specifications, and it is likely that the bumpers, including the LED bars, will undergo significant improvements. At the rear, there are no major changes other than the black tape just below the center of the LED strip taillight, but it should be undertaken in the future.
