The teasers show that the nose is set to get a hexagonal grille, which is meant to make it more striking and upright. The Czech carmaker has also slimmed down the headlights and added a separate LED module under them to create “a new four-eyed look”. The rear gets tail-lights that are even more slender than the current model’s and includes crystalline structures in the design.
