Facelift

FL (Facelift) in the automotive industry refers to a mid-cycle update of a car model, where manufacturers refresh its design, features, or technology without a full redesign. Unlike a new generation, a facelift typically includes tweaks like updated headlights, grilles, bumpers, or interior tech (e.g., infotainment upgrades). Common terms linked to FL models include mid-cycle refresh, minor model update, and LCI (Life Cycle Impulse, used by BMW). These updates aim to keep the car competitive without the cost of a full redesign.

Facelifts often address customer feedback or regulatory changes (e.g., adding LED lights or safety tech). For example, a 2020 FL version of a 2017 sedan might get a sharper infotainment screen but keep the same engine. Enthusiasts debate whether FL cars are worth the wait or if it’s better to hold out for a next-gen model. Other related terms are MCE (Minor Change Edition) or running updates (small, unannounced tweaks).
