The final version of EV9 largely uses the concept car design that was unveiled two years ago. The special-shaped headlights on both sides and the matrix light source are very eye-catching, and also give the new car a certain sense of future. In addition, the closed front grille also brings a strong style. It is suspected that there is a vent design above the grille, which may provide some help for heat dissipation and wind resistance.
