Engineers designed the five-door as part of their ongoing design method, L-finesse. As part of the exterior design, the car uses concealed door handles and blacked-out B-pillars to give the concept a smoother look and feel. The design team attempted to convey a powerful look by using a steep windshield, and a new grille set into a wide bumper. The wide stance incorporates air intakes to keep brake temperature down. Meanwhile, the long roofline shows just how much room is available for passengers and cargo. Similar to a Renault Megane five-door, the roofline hangs over the rear window to create a spoiler. At 4,300mm, the vehicle is five millimeters longer than the five-door Megane, but its 1,790mm width is 18 mm thinner than the Megane model.
