So does the 718, yet is the same car as the 981 with a 4 cylinder engine.
If you want to measure how different the car is by a number stamped in a sheet of metal instead of the actually body in the car, feel free to. To me they could even call it Kia Picanto, still looks like it’s using the exact same platform as the 2nd gen.
You have bigger engineering changes with for example 911’s
991.1 to 991.2 going from NA to turbos.
Or the 997.1 to 997.2 with brand new blocks and direct injection engines and going from torque converter tiptronic to PDK.
this one is 2nd gen, just facelifted.
This is the 3rd gen. The 2nd was facelifted in 2020.
I’m pretty sure that this is like a 3rd facelift, same for the Cayenne. Abit like the 718 Boxster is a facelifted 981.2 (that is already facelifted)
It got a new chassis code so it’s the 3rd gen.

There are several engineering changes which the article discusses. By every development metric this is a new generation of car.
