Not in the sense we understand them in the US. Obviously the production date matters both for resale and for understanding the exact configuration of the car, but this semi-arbitrary separation of a continuous output of car plants into buckets does not exist.
It may be useful here to compare this with the Tesla approach, which is the closest to the absence of model years you can get while still remaining compliant with all the federal requirements. Due to those requirements, Teslas sold in the US still have model years, but unless you know the exact date of production you can never tell exactly what's under the specific car's skin.
