The 2024 has touchscreen for the CarPlay which the 2023 does not. It works flawlessly! Dealer gave me $1500 off MSRP and $18K for my 2018 with 52K miles. The 2024 is much improved over the 2018 in interior quality and handling. Also, my old CX-5 did not have Homelink and the Power Liftgate. Both nice features.
