Initially, a car was born as a "Borrego" and was intended only for American market. But, motorists did not experience obvious sympathy for him.

Therefore, it is not strange that the company decided to upgrade and conquer the Asian-European market with the new generation. For the first time we managed to see the car of the updated design and filling in February 2016. The pictures show that improved aerodynamic qualities. On the front end, little has changed from the previous generation. The same grille, with a large presence of chrome.
