The "card slots" seems to have moved from being just under the climate controls to being next to the shifter (and just below the 12V socket).
I have to say, I've always liked the nice symmetry of the centered 12V socket and left/right seat heating dials in my 2013. The new layout looks a bit more haphazard with things just located here and there.
I also like the left-to-right drink holders in the older layout. They make it easier to remember whose drink is whose.
The front-to-back holders (I have been in other cars with them) are okay, but I always forget which drink is mine.
