The Nissan emblem is placed in the middle of the front fascia, which features a smaller grille with two chrome stripes. The clamshell bonnet, dual-tone front bumper, body cladding close to the wheel arches, multi-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels, and roof rails are a few other noteworthy visual features.
The front doors feature a silver-themed design that resembles air intakes. The grab handle, which resembles the Maruti Swift, is situated on the rear door window. The standard features for the rear profile include a roof-mounted spoiler, a dual-tone black and silver bumper, and a connected LED taillamp cluster.
