The facelift coincides with the brand’s relaunch in South Africa under the wing of Indian auto giant Mahindra. The change is substantial and includes new grille, headlights, front bumper, wings and bonnet, as well as a redesign of the loadbox's side panels and tailgate. New alloy rims have been including in the equation.

The cabin has been refreshed with a new instrument cluster and a centre console with a bright metal finish.
