Facelifts will happen year on year, solving a few common issues and creating a need for previous owners to renew/update. We, as Motability customers will have a different outlook as we are dependent upon what is available on the scheme at time of renewal. Whether it’s an upgrade of the current car or something completely different tends to be determined by availability and price, as well as the experience with the dealer over the past 36 months. Personally, I’m happy with the MY24 I have even without the rear wiper.
I am really glad you are enjoying your I5 I have been following your journey and when I order mine I’m going for the same colour its so so nice, please keep us updated especially form a range POV.
This is the first facelift the I5 will get, Its not just a MY update where there would be additions or trim changes.
It’s a substantial update, with the larger battery, revised motors, suspension updates and vehicle OS system rear wiper, these changes alone are major for the I5 the cosmetic changes for the interior trim and exterior bumpers are minor to what’s happening, its been a much needed update for the vehicle.
We have been able to order since September but I knew the update was coming so we have held off, the change over is now and vehicles are available to be ordered now in Korea, the UK spec will be finalised for May, but anything that’s already on order but not yet built will automatically be upgraded (hopefully not like the Enyaq fiasco).
We are placing our order the end of the month
Happy motoring.
