The car is a lot smoother and quieter than the 2015 model in terms of cabin noise the engine is a lot more refined but due to the flat 6 instead of 4. CVT feels nice, but I never had issues with my 2015 model. The infotainment is amazing though. Sound system is incredible and apple CarPlay plus android auto is so nice.
Steering feels smiliar except a little heavier. Still has that artificial electronic steering feel.
Overall, this car is a huge upgrade from 2015, I was really close to getting the 2017 model, I'm glad I waited.
Steering responsive headlights and led lights are definitely a good bonus.
