The Century SUV takes the traditional design cues from the older Century models, including the Phoenix emblem that adorned the Century models from the past. At the front, the Century SUV offers a rectangular grille with a diamond mesh finish. The grille is flanked by split LED headlights that incorporate LED projectors and L-shaped DRLs. The front end of the Century looks flat and boxy and the same design theme continues around the side and rear profiles as well.

A crease runs below the character line and covers the width of the SUV, before merging with the shutline of the rear bumper. The new Century SUV also boasts 2 rear door options. Customers can either opt for a conventional door or an MPV-like sliding rear door. At the rear, the Century offers split LED tail lights and the Century branding spread across the tailgate.
