From the side, the nose is conspicuously short and rounded. The eye moves rearward quickly, as the roof sweeps straight back and appears to be a mere thin sliver at its trailing edge. The dark rear glass takes over, wrapping around about 40 percent of the vehicle, finally stopped by a wide sloping C-pillar. The fender flares are fat, and the six-spoke alloy wheels are clean and unpretentious, with six beefy lugs in the hub.
The Outlook loses some of its style at the rear. The black dam matches the front, making the SUV look like it has super high ground clearance. The taillamps are ordinary, and the chrome over the license plate doesn't add anything. In fact, the XE with its body-colored trim is cleaner than the XR with chrome, from door handles to roof rails.
