Default Purchasing Audi A7 - 2013 or 2014?

Hello! This is my first post on the forum as I've decided to look into getting into an A7. Just test drove it yesterday and was convinced it's a better choice than the BMW 650i I was looking at.

I am trying to figure out if there is a difference in the 2013 vs 2014 Model? I am looking at the Prestige package on both. I see a really good dead on a 2013 model in my area so I'm wondering if I'd be compromising anything by not getting the 2014 or 2015 model.

Thanks in advance for your input.

Oh and the 2013 is Certified Pre Owned so it includes 100k mile warranty.

I believe the 3 seat back seat became available in MY2014 (2013 only has seating for 2 in the back).

2013 and 2014 - Same. Choose considering the best price, low miles and condition. In USA only the 2012 came with 2 rear seats and I believe 2012 MMI system was not that great; other than that all years are basically the same.

5 passenger A7's became available in North America starting with the 2013 model year.

Yes but in 2013 was still an option if I'm not mistaken. 2014 was standard.

MY 2014 adds the 3G modem, while 2012 and 2013 had the older 2G.

The 2012 A7 indeed had a 3G modem.

not in US. Many 2012-2013 have been upgraded by Audi however.
