Visually, the Sealion 6 borrows a few styling cues from the Sealion 7, such as the similar angular headlamps with DRLs that extend downwards. The Sealion 6 also sports a range of cuts on the front bumper that serve as air intake cavities. In profile, the Sealion 6 is a more upright-looking SUV with a more conventional roofline and a prominent shoulder line that runs the entire length of the car from the headlamps to the taillamps. Other design details include noticeable haunches and the use of cladding around the wheel arches. The rear section of the Sealion 7 gets connected tail lamps.
