2014 vs 2015
Time to maybe replace my current 2010 @ 65k km and get the 4.0T, who can resist another 60bhp, the led matrix headlights, the chrome list and the exhausts
I'm am looking at 2014 or 2015 model with very low milage, circa 7000km.
The 2014 is quite a bit less money but it seems to have everything the 2015 model has so my q is if there were any changes worth considering between these model years?

Facelift changes and a little more power. But, if you are in UK, did you already have facelift in 2014? That part gets confusing at times with a North America centric board, since Europe often sees things a year earlier than we do or uses a calendar year instead of model year convention. Once you get to facelift, very little change except for another minor HP tweak.
U.S. document, but should be close enough. See attached that includes description of exactly where the various facelift tweaks are. I also have an electronic copy of a UK 2014 brochure if that is relevant/helps. Too big a file size to attach on AW, but if you sent me a message via AW w/ your e mail, I can attach and send along.

Thanks, great info as always. I am in Sweden but buying a German car in Germany.
Indeed confusing vs the US market, a late 2013 manufactured (model year 2014) German model seem to have everything in the 2015 US spec. Not sure about the hood and grill yet but the rest including the 435hp engine and led matrix is there.
I am ok for now, waiting for more pictures on the car to confirm.

If it has the matrix headlights and 435 hp 4.0T V8 then it likely is the mid-cycle facelifted model...it will also have the updated rear lights, bumper and integrated exhaust ports, as well as the updated front facia and hood...as well as the revised more useable trunk. Depending on how it was optioned, it might have the heads-up display.
