So glad that others noticed. I thought that I might have been the only one. It was one of the most apparent things for me while watching these videos.

The 2014 nav units are SO slow compared to this. Just watch how fast the girl speaking in the video moves to/from navigation view & between the various menus. It's really fast.

I like the interior changes on the '15, most notably the new finish on the center console. While I think the somewhat glossy finish on our '14s looks nice, mine already is showing signs of wear after just 10 months. I am super careful with it, but it shows oily fingerprints (especially around the seat heat and ventilation controls) and dust, not to mention fine scratches. If this new finish reduces that, and I think it will, then I see it as an improvement.

I'm guessing that part would be an easy swap if need be?

If it was just the console, then perhaps, but the new finish goes all the way up to include the HVAC panel, and I'm guessing you'd have to replace that entire panel, rather than just the face, to be able to do it, which would be prohibitively expensive. I find it to be a nice change, but not worth the expense or worth trading it for a '15 model.

True.. but the 2014 version looks so much more luxurious with that glossy look.. it's a shame that it scratches so easily.

All of them has power steering. Power steering is an electric or hydraulic assistance to help you steer the vehicle.
