Pre-owned 2013 or 2014?

I searched and really didn't see any threads comparing the differences, if any, between 2013 and 2014. We bought a pre-owned 2009 550 back in 2009 and have loved it so looking to upgrade to the x166.

Any huge differences between 2013 and 2014?

No major difference for GL350 and 550 until the mid-cycle refresh in 2016 or 2017 ,at that point you can expect the 9 speed tranny. GL450 gets a twin turbo v6 producing the same power as the v8 of 2013. I think 2015 vehicles also get start/stop technology with the exception of the GL350. 3rd row moon roof is no longer offered for the 2015 model year. 2014 Models get a blind for the 3rd row window.

2014 GL450s still have the v8. It's the 2015 that gets the V6.

There is quite a difference between the X164 and X166. Good luck.
