The vehicle gets distinctive cosmetic highlights to distinguish it from the regular model. The fresh styling elements include 18-inch Sebring Silver alloy wheels, a load sill protector, dynamic hubcaps, new intelligent and adaptive LED matrix headlights with IQ lights, and the Exclusive Edition badging.
