Well, first, the styling has become more hardcore over the new bumpers with pronounced front splitter and side triangular flaps, new, the "cut" in the bottom of the headlights.

Changes in technology, perhaps even more significant. Most importantly – hungry and noisy turbo V6 3.7 l finally sent to down, and the base was modified 2.3-liter EcoBoost R4 the same power as before restyling ( 314 HP), but with significant increase torque – 474 N·m (+40 N·m).
