The front face of MIFA 9 retains the design language of the concept car to a large extent, and above the front of the car is a penetrating LED daytime running light, and the headlights are hidden in the fog light frame area on both sides, and the split design is more in line with the current trend. Chrome trim was added to the front shovel position, and it extended to both sides of the headlights, which looked more atmospheric, and the trapezoidal "false air intake" in the middle was blackened to avoid the front of the car being too dull.
