In this case, the car they are looking at has the extra packages which include almost all the features of the "standard SXL package" so it's not that the 2014 is better, just the optional packages included in this particular car. I had the exact same thing happen on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. I ended up getting a Limited model but it had all the upper packages making it the same as the top level (at the time) Overland model, just didn't have the badges which I didn't care about.I have 2015 Cadenza "Limited" I wish I had the SLX it has way more features. I've been upset about the dealership but the cars great. No blind spot detection which is strange. Why's the 2014 better???
