It's the same trend with MB. With the w210 and w211 being rounder, then the w212 became angular. Now the w213 has combined curves with angular design.
Give it a few years and it'll probably be back to being curvy, in a different way.
Just to give an example with MB sedans, look at how the w114/w108 was boxy and very "vertical" then the w123/w116 came in, and became a more "horizontal" and very slightly angular than vertical. The round lights and added curves on the body work helped give it a curvy feel. When the w126/w201/w124 came in, the design became angular. The w126 still has the curviness of its predecessor, while the w201 and w124 leaned towards being more angular. When the w140/w202 came in, the angular design was enlarged giving it a boxy look, but it was combined with curves. The w210 gave the design more curves. The w220 and w203 combined the angular appearance with curves to give the oval shape we see while the w210 got a facelift.
Then it was back to the w211 with the angular look.
