The spy images confirm that the SUV will have some design changes including sleeker LED DRLs, lowered placed headlamps in boxy housing, an updated grille with tweaked air-dams and revised bumper.
The silhouette is basically an extended version of the existing Hyryder. The SUV’s wheelbase could be increased to accommodate third-row seat. It is likely to get newly designed alloy wheels, sleeker LED tail-lights, and a full-width connected LED bar.
