Was looking at some on-line pics of older CX-5 dash/interiors and was curious about just what changes/tweaks have been made over the years. Obviously the infotainment screen was changed, but I couldn't quite tell when the newest one (the one in my 16.5 Touring) was first used. Some pics from the 2015 model had the old info unit while others seemed to have the newer touchscreen that I thought first came in the 2016. I believe the handbrake was changed to e-brake in the 2016, but what about the different center console armrests and cup holders - which were either side-by-side or in front of each other (in the 2016)? The silver dashboard trim is now silver-ish, but appears darker (black?) in some earlier model pics, but it's a bit hard to tell due to the reflections. It seems that each year had a few minor design tweaks.
Is the exterior the same except for the 2016 grill and headlight assemblies?
