If anything, the changes at the back are more noticeable, with the tail-lights getting completely revamped with a new light tube treatment and a thicker overall design. The tailgate has also been redesigned, with the licence plate holder moving up there.

In addition to the new grille, the headlamps now have a darker treatment, and redesigned internals with the now de rigueur LED driving lights.
