However, the two model model make do with the current Wish front bumper (the X and G grade).
At the back, while the changes are very minimal, they do lend a dramatic shift in the look of the newly updated Wish. The previously clean elegant design of rear light graphic has been replaced with after-market-look-alike item with clear lens with a lot of chromed internals with more visible LED, while the chrome garnish has been widened to cover the whole width of the tailgate instead of residing only at the top of license plate depressed section like the pre-facelifted model. The side mirror has been updated with the new design that incorporated LED repeater.
There are no design change to the interior. However, the color scheme and the panel trimmings have been refreshed to increase the appeal of the cabin as well as to differentiate the grades between models.
