2013 vs 2014 differences (except price)?

Just wondering, are there any minor differences? (i.e. software update, trim-level, etc.) The lease of my e-class is coming up and was wondering whether 2013 or 2014 is the way to go..thanks!

The only difference (that I'm aware of) between the two MY is that on a '13 you could find one with the P1 package w/o the pano roof (aka a Q1 package) to save a few bucks but '14 doesn't have that option. Other members can chime in if there is more to this.......

All I know is, there are not that many MY13 BlueTecs (I'm assuming that's what you are looking for?) left as the MY14's start showing up in dealerships. If you want the exact options/color combo you are likely forced to build a 2014 instead.

Option of a heated steering wheel and a chrome trim piece about the rear license plate with the AMG or appearance package. That's all I know of. A bit disappointing to me. Would much rather have the option of ventilated seats than a heated wheel.

If you can find a color combo you like with the options you like I would go with a 2013 as you could probably "bargain down" simply because the 2014 is out now.

For the US version? The 360 camera was available in the GL in the US, but only in Europe for the ML and GLK. If it's available on the GLK now, then I'm looking forward to upgrading for MY2015
