What does a car facelift mean?

[Greyson]

A car facelift refers to a model that undergoes minor changes based on the original version, while its overall performance remains unchanged compared to the original model. Typically, a car facelift involves slight adjustments, corrections, and improvements in engine power matching, updates to the exterior, interior, and configurations, without major changes to the core technology of the vehicle. Car facelifts generally occur in three stages: early, mid-term, and late. The early stage mainly addresses and fixes issues that arise after the new car's release, which is essential. The mid-term facelift usually involves recalibrating the car's engine performance, such as increasing horsepower, enlarging wheel rims, or even adding some equipment. The late-stage facelift refers to the final one or two years before a model is due for a complete redesign, where a major facelift occurs, often with significant changes to the exterior.
