The updated EV6 maintains a similar silhouette, but now offers a variety of new alloy wheel designs, reaching up to 20 inches in size. At the rear, it retains the similar single LED bar tail-lamp design as the outgoing model but boasts a redesigned rear bumper that makes it look more rugged.

The updated interior includes a new two-spoke steering wheel with revised controls. It features the dual-tone black and brown cabin theme giving it a premium feel and now incorporates a range of additional features, including a fingerprint sensor for starting the car.
