An exhibit at CES showed the iX Flow model changing from white to dark. The progressions are conceivable in each board of the vehicle. This allows a few opportunities for various shading and example blends all around the vehicle. The exhibition included one setting that made dashing stripes.

"A white surface mirrors significantly more daylight than a dark one," the organization says. "By suggestion, warming of the vehicle and traveler compartment because of solid daylight and high external temperatures can be decreased by changing the outside to a light tone." In a cooler climate, hazier tones will assist the vehicle with retaining additional glow from the sun.
