As the second generation of the CT6 series product, the front face design of the new generation CT6 still has a family-like shield-shaped front grille shape, and the front grille is suspected to use V-shaped dot matrix details. Judging from the new generation CT6 test car that has previously appeared in China, the new car has canceled the L-shaped headlight group shape used in the current model and adjusted it to a new split layout. The overall style is similar to the XT6 and CT5.
