Test mules caught on public roads indicate that the refreshed multi-purpose vehicle will sport a revised front fascia aimed at giving it a more robust, SUV-inspired posture. As per a report by CarToq, the traditional trapezoidal grille is set to make way for a bolder mesh arrangement flanked by sleeker LED headlamp units.
