Not to be crass but the phrase "limp member" comes to mind with this 2025 press release.

In addition to the cosmetic tarting up it would be nice to have some incremental offroad capabilities added. Just a little something.

Also a 'new matte protective film' - hasn't that been avail from 2020 onwards? I wonder if they just changed suppliers of the film.

Center console got an update around the cupholders (angular) and phone charger (slanted instead of flat phone placement which is nice).

They removed the Wade Sensing from the standard equipment. Now it is part of one of the off-road packs.

You have been able to get the mate protective film this entire time, it's just available on select colors only.

It may be to comply with updated Nox emissions which Europeans are very sensitive towards because of bad air quality? Turbo engines and high temperatures come to mind.

Sloped phone charger is going to nicely catch my spilled tea when I get surprised by all the new shiny trim.

Not seeing anything of note.

Still no factory sliders, nor bull-bars available to the NAS market. No doubt there will be some new 22" rim offerings to look forward to.

Total snoozefest.

The UK builder is already live, although no prices. Looks like they have cut down on color options. We are down to Fuji White, Pangea, Tasman, Gondwana, black, carpathian and silicon silver.

I do wonder how much of these upgrades will be retrofit available. I like the changes to the center console storage.
