The new model also looks completely different to the model it replaces with a much bolder SUV-like stance rather than a people mover. The interior also has its own share of upgrades to show, like the new dashboard design, a digital instrument cluster, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, a rotary gear selector knob, and a new climate control panel.
