From what i recall - not much! i.e. Power kit for the S, Chalk (color), and more customizable interior options. Oh and Free maintenance on first year AKA free oil change!

In addition to the above:
1. PDLS doesn't come with washers anymore for the Base/S/4/4S. It's still there for the GTS.
2. Black PSE exhaust tips available on the 2018, not on the 2017s
3. Tinted tail lights available on the 2018, not on the 2017s

Thanks. If that’s the same in the USA it’s pretty significant.

Got an "early" 2018 Carrera in late 2017. I noticed:
-No headlight washers with PLDS
-Park-distance and backup camera were standard
-Free first-year service, but with a price increase over 2017
-Black exhaust tips were available as option
-Tinted tail lights were available as option
-Voice Control was a "hidden" $0 option (not on configurator)
I notice Voice Control is now listed as an option on the configurator, at $0.

Mine is a 2017 and had rear camera and parking sensors standard. It also has tinted taillights.
As for the black exhaust tips, I have sport exhaust (as part of the sport package) and I don't think I could have gotten the black tips, although I don't recall checking on that last year. But what's odd on the 2018 is that while black tips are an option for both standard and sport exhaust, it will not let you configure the black tips on the sport exhaust when you have selected the sport package. That could just be an error on the configurator but if not, you'd have to configure the sport package components individually if you wanted sport exhaust with the black tips. Odd.

Black tips ordered on my '17, took delivery in Jan '17 (so it wasn't just a late model year option). Didn't order tinted taillights, wished I would have. I know others that did get them on their '17's.
