Headlights, large air intake systems and off-road devices complement the new items’ look.

The brightest thing is the muzzle of the new model. Placed high, it can boast of neither length nor width.

But visibility and cross-country ability, due to the named qualities and branded «squareness», is up to the mark. The windshield has outstanding sizes, but it is inclined not very much.

All this is intertwined with not the brightest wave-like relief, resting at the bottom with large, widened wheel arches, as well as a solid black plastic protective layer running through the entire perimeter.
