The upcoming SUV, as seen in the spy shots, bears a striking resemblance to the concept revealed approximately a year ago. Its design showcases a sleek closed-off grille accompanied by a broad LED light strip spanning the width, with split headlamps neatly arranged in a vertical triangular setup.
On the sides, the latest prototype flaunts fresh alloy wheels, drawing inspiration from the BE.09 model.
