Differences between original and facelift Yeti?

Damn. I'm not allowed to answer. :-(

BMW driver aside, is there ANYONE who thinks the face-lifted Yeti looks better than the original?

 

And me.

[eribaMotters]

Better - ?

Different - Yes

Much better.

But you lose the smiley face on the face-lift.

Are there any body differences between the two?  doesn't the pre FL have level front sills?

[Ryeman]

The best one is the one you ordered.

Depends what you mean by "body", but basically the facelift was the bumpers, headlights and boot hatch. The sills are the same.

It must be generic photos I've seen where the sill protector sits flat on the pre but mine has about an inch higher raised section for about a foot.

It must have been an optical illusion - as Graham said, the sills are the same pre and post FL (having fitted sill protectors on TIBET I and II).

Personally I wouldn’t have bought the pre F/L, but chose to buy a specced up F/L L&K

Don't know if I prefer the FL to the old one, but I like it a lot anyhow

I originally disliked the facelift and www disappointed when we ordered a few weeks too late to get the original. But after a year it has grown on me and now when I see an original I cannot help feeling it looks a bit dated now.

It might be interesting to see which theme follows onto the Yeti II in the way of the front appearance, which was the most noticeable difference when the f/l arrived.
