Design
Every Jurong Region Line train will feature a livery that is mainly turquoise in color to reflect the line's color on the MRT map. The design features a sleek modern look, with angular LED headlights and taillights, similar to that of its C951(A) and R151 trains in Singapore and the R-Trains in Hong Kong.The trains are also smaller in size compared to those on other MRT lines to enable them to navigate tighter curves in areas constrained by existing developments along the line.
