major improvement on 2015 over 2014

Hello fellow MB S class,

I start looking for lease retrun W222 and found the 2014 is about $5-8K less for similar mileage and option (as close as it can be) 2015.
1. Other than 2014 being the first model year for W222, what are the major improvement of 2015 over 2014?
2. if anyone can share Mannheim pricing for 2014 & 2015 that will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks much in advance for your help!

I believe the 2015 has a touchpad by the console instead of keypad. Some folks don't like the touchpad and would prefer the original keypad. Also, I believe the 2015 has the Head-Up display available. That's about it.

I have a 2104 and specifically chose it because of the dial pad versus the touch pad on 2015. I use the dial pad regularly.

In 2015, the Infotainment and Digital Guage Cluster graphics were updated from a tan-ish background to a blue/light blue color. IMO, makes the experience a lot nicer in the 2015.

Prices drop,when car is going out of factory warranty. That’s why 14 to 15 cars are priced differently IMO.

Would be great to see a consolidated list of the updates that happened between years. I had no clue about the above comment regarding the different infotainment colors between MY's...

Wish I had - upgraded sound, heater steering wheel (not sure if they offered)


A clean carfax should go without saying BUT I did buy a car that had a blemish i.e. “damage reported”. By all accounts it was minor so sometimes your dream unicorn comes with a bent horn.
For me Warmth and Comfort package plus Burmester 3d for the win. On a cold and rainy New England day like today you cant beat it. Just got back from a 30 minute commute and it was sublime. Silence and comfort. The W222 is an absolute tank and I love it.

2014 did not have V12 engine option, 2015 did.
