A motorsport-inspired design was used with the rear LED lights that comprise of 10 individual lights arranged into a chequered flag.

The inside of the car has similar architecture to the previous derivatives but with slight nuanced improvements to the materials and visuals, creating a more luxurious and premium feel. The flat-bottomed steering wheel has gained a new metallic finish and a chrome bezel has been put on the instrument cluster.
