Facelifted Cars of New York: Spot the differences!
Published on April 19, 2014 in New York by Frédérick Boucher-Gaulin
As car models gets older, we become accustomed to their shape. So, to spice things up, sometime they get a mid-cycle refresh. They range from very obvious to quite subtle. Here are some of the best from the New York Auto Show.
Let's start with an easy one: here is a 2014 Challenger...
And here is the new one. The grille, LED-rimmed headlights and Shaker hood are new.
Another easy one: this is the 2014 Ford Focus Sedan
this is the 2015. The compact car is now shaped like the other cars in the manufacturer's lineup, like the Fusion.
A little bit harder this time: here is an older version of the MINI Countryman
And this is the new one. A different bumper, new grille and LED headlights round up the changes.
And 2015. Different, but not necessarily prettier!
This 2014 Cruze is also slightly restyled.
For 2015, it gets new chrome accents in the bumpers, and a grille more like the Chevrolet Malibu.
Last but not least: A 2014 Volkswagen Jetta (here in hybrid form).
And this is the 2015. A more angular front bumper, different fog lights... and that's pretty much it!
