Refurbishment

edit

In 2020, 10-car set 10701 received restyled car ends, an all-over "Yokohama Navy Blue" livery, and a renovated interior.[3] Sets 10702 and 10703 received a less extensive treatment, which only affected front end styling and onboard equipment.[4]

Sotetsu announced in April 2024 that three further sets will be refurbished.[5]
