You are coming at this from a USA perspective.
In Europe, cultural home of the scooter, manufacturers do not routinely offer a changed model every year, its fairly unusual for a scooter to have significant changes during its lifetime.
The PCX has already had a major revision with the eSP variant, there won't be any further significant changes.
The model years are irrelevant, 2012, 2013, 2014..... its the same scooter.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
