Heat-reflecting windows and exterior paint and lots of insulation help regulate the interior temperature and cut energy usage by the automatic climate control system. Regarding the design, the new vehicle features an exterior design suitable for a next-generation crossover and includes LED headlamps and rear lamps, a newly-developed metal color and a new road wheel design that improves brake cooling and aerodynamic performance.
