This is what I'm querying as they've already 'facelifted' with the fancy badges, dropping the 1.9 & 1.3 diesels etc.

This will be it's first facelift. There's a series 1 when has the old engines like mine, and there was a series 2 with the new engines like the 1.4 T-Jet.

New badges aren't a facelift. A facelift is a more major design change about half way through the life of a car. The engines were to do with standardisation of parts with the coming of the Mito I believe, plus people are wanting ever more efficient cars.
