Both three new models will be at dealerships in beginning of May.

The vehicle's grille surround appears in black gloss, and mesh grille texture in platinum chrome. The front-end appearance is completed by a platinum chrome lower fascia appliqué.
In addition the "blacked-out" theme throughout the vehicle's exterior is continued by a black headlamp bezels and a black liftgate light bar. The SUV sits on 20-inch tires which surround black-gloss aluminum wheels.
