all that's been confirmed is that toyota has chosen to go in a different direction with the 2nd gen, and people that were involved(but are no longer) in the 1st gen design don't agree with the direction that they're going. but this was all pre-covid confirmations. right now, we don't even know if they're going to produce a 2nd gen..
i would say to look at the scion xb gen 1(2003–2006), and gen 2(2007–2015) for guidance. straight off the wikipedia page:
"The first-generation Scion xB was very similar to its original bB inspiration, but the second-generation xB was based on American buyers' "wants" relative to the first-generation, combined with the new styling of the 2005 bB. The sales of the Scion xB plummeted after the switch from the compact first-generation to the much larger second-generation xB2."
that doesn't mean it's going to be hot garbage, but it does mean it is going to be a departure from the passion-project that the 1st gen was.

If that's the case then going by what I've seen in this forum the series 2 will be:
Wide body - rocket bunny style
Lowered on air
JDM spec lights
Twin exhaust but only one pipe
Interior footwell lights
Red trim
More red trim
Some black Australian OEM stuff
Big touch pad ICE thingy
Faux suede on dash
Arm rest (must creak)
Big "fuck-off" rear view mirror
If MT then a big gear lever
If AT then a big gear lever
Camouflage gear and handbrake covers
Funny shaped crooked foot pedals
Wiring harness that can be easily spliced
I'm sure there's more but I'll take a rest now..
