Design features, in addition to the brand's characteristic imposing badge, begin with the front lights, whose daytime running lights LED signature it is C-shaped, the rear lights can also be lit in this technique. An interesting feature is, for example, the roof arch falling towards the rear, which rises slightly at the rear door, which gives it a somewhat coupe-like or off-road coupé touch. Field ambitions are also sometimes shown with 19 centimeters off the ground, rims but like the Qashqai, they can measure everything to sizes 19-inch.
