Review of owners about the appearance

Last year, German designers subjected their car to another restyling, presenting to the public a new, fourth in a row, generation of cars.

A powerful embossed bumper with a huge air intake flaunts in front of the novelty. Above the shock element between the updated lighting equipment with DRL, there is a chrome-plated “wing-like” radiator grill. Significant changes did not occur on the side, while the rear “acquired” stylish aluminum-molded moldings.
