2016 to 2018 GLE 350 differences
Done a little searching online and just wanted to verify, other than Apple Carplay/Android Auto, are their any differences between a 2016 model year GLE 350 and a 2018 GLE 350?

I have a 2017 with CarPlay. Sorry that doesn't answer the question about a 2016.
The 2017 GLE brochure specifically mentions Apple CarPlay and shows a picture of it. The 2016 brochure has no mention of CarPlay.
Use a VIN decoder to be sure, if you are looking at buying a 2016.
There may have been some other trim/color/option changes in 2018.

Looking in the brochures, changes for 2018 compared with 2017:
3 position memory for front passenger seat not available in 2018
9 air bags offering 11 way protection in 2018 vs 7 air bags offering 9 way protection in 2017
You could do a similar comparison by downloading the 2016 brochure.
The additional airbags in 2018 is a curious mid-cycle change.
