In profile, a dynamic shoulder gives it a wedge-shaped look, while the C-pillar that kicks up at an angle and the fender with cladding adds character to the silhouette.

Out back, the arrow-shaped lights positioned far-out on either side, and a horizontal line that connects them, accentuate the sense of width.
