Hello everyone, I am looking at both model years however what is the difference between both years?

JDR76

I'll give this a shot:

For 2015:
Atomic Silver was added
Lexus Enform Remote was added (subscription based remote start)
New Navigation system, with HD Radio (subscription free) traffic and weather
Cache radio (to pause live radio)
Mark Levinson sound system added Clari-Fi technology
F Sport badge was added to the trunk of F Sport models

Can't think of anything else.

Thank you for all of the responses. I’m also looking at a fully loaded 350 F sport from 2014, however my understanding based on the forums is that the 2015 is best pre-facelift model year. I read the differences but is the 2014 GS 350 f sport not as good as the 2015 version?

Depends on your definition of good.

I was on the same situation as you before I purchased mine RWD 14 F sport. I initially looking for 15 F sport but end up with 14 F sport due to the price and 14 model got most functions I needed required for an GS

14 MY is virtually identical to a 15 MY minus few things like updated joy stick control (you can replace the update part to MY 15 for under $20) and F Sport trunk badge (not a big deal I got for $25) appearance wise

Functions wise-MY 15 got an updated infotainment system (I believed 3D bird eye view Map was added and few other minor tweaks were added) they are nice update but it not a deal breaker for me

My initial requirements are Ultra white (F sport exclusive color), RWD ONLY ( I am in CA), 8 Speed transmission, Auto folding mirrors, Mark Levinson sound system, F Sport model and power trunk (pretty rare in MY14 for F sport with ML system for some reason when I was shopping) I am not sure why. So I ended up with no power trunk option ( I can live without it). Everything else is pretty much the same between 14 and 15, correct me if I missing anything else. I am pretty happy with my purchase

Good luck of finding the right vehicle for you!

You left out a big one - the parking sensor. This is how you can tell if it's 14 or 15 when behind one. 15's look nicer IMO. What about auto folding mirrors? I know it was added after its first version but not sure which year.

LSSAH

Parking sensors was revised to flush with bumper on 14 MY not poking out like the 13 MY, Auto folding mirrors option was also added on 14 MY. so 14 and 15 has same parking sensors

It seems like Cal cars don't always come with this, even loaded 15.

I am not sure the reason why but I wish I have the power trunk option oh well. They should know that we CA people are lazy. J/K

Also 2015 comes with double pane windows for added sound deafening
