Exterior

The shape and design of the radiator grille is impressive, the size and design features of the air intake are much more modest. Fog lamps are usual, round, but the configuration of niches for them is more interesting and complex - the relief turned out to be a sight to behold. The windshield is made flat.

The profile is beautiful with the graceful hood line, the peculiar wheel pattern, the stylish recess at the bottom of the front doors and the originality of the square wheel arches.

The rear seems extensive, luxurious, and cute at the same time, with a massive rear bumper, a trapezoidal rear window, and a trunk-door cover. The headlights are united in the overall ensemble by a chrome curved band. The metal-plastic trim and chrome exhaust pipes are not bad.
