Appearance: from greasy uncle to young guy
Highlander can achieve such excellent results, and its domineering appearance is indispensable. The appearance of the new Highlander has undergone a series of slimming "sports" compared with the cash, and it is no longer bloated visually. Although it is less domineering, it is younger and more dynamic, and it is easier to attract young consumers.
China Net is a place where the front face has changed a lot. At present, the trapezoidal grille design has been cancelled and replaced by a large-size blackened mesh.
