New front and rear bumpers and a redesigned grille debuted for 2001, alongside new front seat armrest and headrests. 2002 saw major updates to all upper trim levels. In 2003, a new dashboard debuted as well as new aluminum wheels, a seven-speaker audio system with CD player, new overhead storage compartments with reading lights and updates to all trim levels.

A tire-pressure monitoring system was added as a standard feature in 2007. Updates for 2008 included better soundproofing in the cabin, updated climate control, a new sunroof and fuel door release. In 2009, a new four-cylinder model debuted and the V6 model was updated to add more power. A new grill also was added alongside updated interior controls and a new front bumper.
