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. As for the interior, the vehicle gets an all-black interior with Vienna leather seats, aluminium pedals, special cushion pillows, and a soft-touch dashboard with 'Exclusive' badging.
