Exterior
The car is available in red, white, silver, blue, orange, grey or yellow, with black stripes.
The headlamps are bi-xenon units with LED DRLS shaped like eyebrows.[4] Foils are added at the back to boost air intake to complement a single air vent located on top. The vehicle also has a long low bonnet that dips in the middle to emphasize the DC logo.[3]
The car has all-wheel disc brakes and 20" alloy wheels.
