I don’t think it’s anything in the physical dimensions. Either camera lens/angles or, now that I’m looking at the pictures again, the styling details. The 1st gen headlights and the shape of the front fender arches gives the front end a wider/lower look. Same with the rear where the 2nd gen tail lights, rear fender cutouts and trunk shape give it a narrower look.

The real test will be what they look like out in the real world though.
