Subtle Design Tweaks

While the patent images are of the hatchback, most of its design should carry over to the sedan version. The images reveal a longer and wider overall silhouette compared to its predecessor. It also has had plenty of revisions up front with the headlights less angular than before and a much narrower grille, which is similar to the Accord. Expect similar changes for the sedan at the rear, since the front end has gotten an overhaul. Overall, the design is a bit cleaner than before.
