This is mainly due to the unique varnish. At first glance, this SUV looks like a dozen cars with white paint. However, just press the button and the whole car turns anthracite, as noted by the CarsCoops server. To make matters worse, the color can change in the waves, which creates a very interesting effect. It’s like playing a keyboard with all colors.

Chevrolet tried it too
In the past, other carmakers also flirted with the changing paint. For example, in 2015, a SEMA Chevrolet Camaro with a special surface from LumiLor labs appeared at a tuning show in Las Vegas.
