The most striking offering on the new model is the revamped front styling. The face of the car now sports the trademark spilt grille of the Chevrolet family. The lower bumper area has also been refurbished with a lower positioned number plate, restyled fog lamp housing and a faux diffuser beneath the bumper. In profile a sharp feature line across the length of the vehicle, along with subtle chrome highlights and a coupe-style rear window make the car look rather sporty.

At the rear, the design is dominated by a large tailgate and substantial vertical tail lamps with indicators and reversing lamps contained in circular elements. Below, the chrome tipped twin exhaust pipes look nice.
