2016 vs 2017 S550e

Hi, I am looking to buy the S550e. There are more 2016 versions available nationwide than there are 2017 ones. Could someone please tell me the difference between the 2016 and 2017 versions of the S550e? What would I be missing out on if I purchase the 2016 version? Any other thoughts on the vehicle if you own one would be great. Thanks so much in advance

15-17 did not have very many changes that i am aware of. I have a 15 and they are awesome cars, on the big side but very comfortable to drive and enjoy. Mine has been flawless for 34K miles.

I think 2017 got the 9 speed transmission vs the 7 speed.
