The latest spyshots conform the shape of the rear fascia, which is heavily curved , not unlike the Volvo XC60. The SUV also appeared to be lower than before, but this could be the illusion due to the increased in distance between the C and D pillar. The tailgate also appeared to have ditched current contoured surfacing. The car will be launched before the end of the year, as a 2012 model year.
