The SUV comes with a blanked-off grille that hosts an array of sensors for semi-autonomous driving.

The rear of the car has an estate or station wagon-like look and doesn't look that imposing. However, the connected type LED tail-lamp design makes it appear wider, and coupled with the large wheels might lend it a good road presence.
