While the keystone-shaped grille and a more rakish windshield improve will aerodynamics of the SUV, the lowered beltline with larger windows will offer better visibility. It seems that the wheelbase and front and rear overhangs have grown in size. This will also make it more spacious for the front and rear occupants.
