The sides have smooth surface areas, the C-pillar has a contrast surface and a dragon-scale pattern, and the 18- inch alloy wheels finish the appearance. The onboard battery charger flap lies on the ideal front fender.
A molding encounters the front of the vehicle, and under it are the daytime running lights that surpass the LED headlight cluster and continue with a LED bar throughout the whole width of the vehicle. At the back, the LED taillights are linked to each other, advising me of those on Smart # 1. In general, it’s a quite appealing vehicle, and the only thing that does not rather in shape is the “Build Your Dreams” engraving, which sticks out excessive on the tailgate.
