When comparing the two, it's apparent that the lighting on the front end was turned 90 degrees from pleasing horizontal elements to unflattering vertical ones. This is a mistake, because vertical lighting can be a real challenge to pull off. The recessed grille on the concept was a much better look.
The rear on the concept was pretty ugly to begin with, with those "walking stick" tail lights, but the production model's remind me of Egyptian hieroglyphics and I can't unsee it.
If "clothes make the man," then "wheels make the car". The wheels on this model are so generic, they look to be made of construction paper. It's only after zooming in that you see they aren't completely flat, but they might as well be.
On a sedan these would be boring enough. On a tepid SUV, it's tragic.
Automakers, please note: If your wheels look like cardboard, then you've done it wrong.
Luckily the gray model is not the only trim option available. Below is a sportier variant that will probably be priced too high for most people. I really love the combination of the green paint and black wheels on this model. If I had my way, this would be the only option available. Death to boring cars!
