The vehicle was on display at the Shanghai Auto Show in late April, and the one on road test has some differences from the show car.
Its headlights do not feature LED light sources, which may be temporary light sources for the test vehicle, according to the report.
Its front bumper has roughly the same shape as the show car, but has also been improved at the detail level, and the shape of the rearview mirror has been adjusted for production, according to the report.
