pre-facelift model

A **pre-facelift model** refers to a version of a product—most commonly a car—that was manufactured **before a mid-cycle design update (facelift)** was introduced.

In the automotive industry, a facelift typically includes minor design changes such as:
- Updated headlights or taillights
- Revised bumpers or grille
- Interior updates
- New technology or feature improvements

The **pre-facelift model** is the original version produced before these updates were made, while the **facelift model** (or "post-facelift") includes the refreshed design and improvements.
