Driving lights were now incorporated into the frontal ensemble and a new wide center bar split the grille vertically. Rear track was increased by 3.25 inches, enhancing both appearance and stability.

The rear windows nearly wrapped around to the enlarged side windows now with the familiar Jaguar D-shape above the rear door and completely chromed frames for all of the side windows. The larger side, tail and fog lamps found a new home as a the radiator grille was updated.
