Overview
The first generation eK Space and its sportier variant, called the eK Space Custom, were announced on October 3, 2013, and released on February 13, 2014. The eK Space Custom, with its large chrome grille, was facelifted in December 2016 along with the regular eK Space. The new Custom version features an even larger "Dynamic Shield" grille similar to the one introduced on the Outlander in 2015. The standard eK Space had the original, full-width grille replaced with a two-tiered opening surrounded by sheetmetal.
