The exterior design is inspired by diamonds. Beneath the compact, curved cabin is a body composed of multifaceted surfaces, like precisely cut hard gemstones. Additionally, the distinctive rear combination lamps, inspired by aerodynamics, protrude strongly, further emphasizing the wide shoulder line.
