The side of the body is similar to the conventional compact SUV body structure design, and it is expected that the size may also be significantly improved. In the rear part and the rear part of the new car, there are more broad "buttocks" and combined with the roof shape to form the body structure of the sliding back coupe SUV. Due to the great change in the appearance of the new car, it was even considered to be a "scaled-down version" of the BMW X4.
