Weird design

So I test drove a Sportage locally, it's a 2022 model in EX trim with ADW. It drives excellently, no rattles, sqeaks, stuff like that, but there's something that's bothering me a bit. The owner says that he bought it new and that it hasn't been in a damage and I'm all down for that, but there's something about the design of the doors that's bugging me. I did my research before hand and I drove a few other models before and they all had creases in the doors, like two parallel lines, but this one doesn't. Is this a bullet I should dodge, or am I overthinking things?
 
If everything else checks out, clean title, and no frame damage, it's likely just a trim or model-year difference, you can still get a second opinion or inspection to ease your mind.
 
I asked two body shops about this and they shrugged like they didn't knew. I'm either asking the wrong crowd or there's something about this sportage that someone isn't telling me everything about
